Savoury Mince Recipe
Rich, savory, warm, and comforting, this old-fashioned savoury mince is so delicious. I like to serve it for lunch or light dinner with Tomato And Onion Salad, Elote Corn Salad or Summer Coleslaw Salad.
Making this recipe at home does not require any kitchen expertise; you can easily throw in the ingredients while following the steps, and Savoury Mince can already come together in less than 30 minutes using only one pan!
I love Savoury Mince because, aside from being easy to make, it is also easy to find side dishes and beverages to pair it with. Hot white rice and simple ice-cold water are already enough to make the most of this dish.
Ingredients
“See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”
Olive Oil. I use olive oil to saute the onion and garlic. You can use vegetable oil instead.
Minced Beef. I choose a good lean quality beef with little fat to it since fat gives more flavor to the dish too.
Garlic & Onion. Both are good flavoring agents for meat.
Dried Italian Herbs. For more flavor, I add these dried Italian herbs.
All Purpose Flour (Plain Flour). I Thicken the texture of the recipe by adding flour. To make this recipe gluten-free, use almond flour instead.
Beef Stock. Make this dish extra beefy with the addition of beef stock.
Tomato Puree. Tomato puree not only adds color to the dish but also helps in making it taste savory.
Worcestershire Sauce. Worcestershire sauce helps tomato puree in making this recipe taste savory.
Mixed Vegetables (Frozen). I use a 150 g bag of frozen mixed vegetables, mostly peas, sweetcorn and carrots.
Salt and pepper. Enhance the taste of the recipe by adding salt and pepper.
How to Make Savoury Mince?
One: Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry onions and garlic until soft.
Two: Stir in minced beef, dried Italian herbs, salt and pepper.
Three: Use a wooden spoon to break up the mince; once the beef becomes brown, stir in the flour and cook for a minute. Then add Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree and beef stock.
Four: Simmer for 10-15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Five: Finally, stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 5 minutes more until the vegetables are soft.
Six: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Top Tips!
- If you are batch cooking this recipe to store in the freezer, don't add the frozen vegetables yet. Just add them when you are already reheating the dish to serve.
Variations & Substitutions
- Add chopped potatoes to the recipe for a more starchy and creamy texture to the dish.
- To easily achieve a savory taste for the recipe, add Marmite. It tastes salty with a hint of yeasty taste, and when combined with the ingredients of this recipe, it will easily make the dish taste savory.
Serving Suggestions
I serve this dish with plain white rice. Aside from rice, you can also serve this dish with Gyro Bread or Rocket Salad with Parmesan.
Storage
Make sure that the dish is kept in an airtight container before refrigerating it for up to three days.
Freeze: The dish can last for three months in the freezer so long as it is in an airtight container.
