Tip: To serve 4, increase the beef to 800g, add another red pepper and small sweet potato, increase the beans to 300g, add another garlic clove and double the amount of passata and stock. Bake for an extra 20-30 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
What you need:
low-calorie cooking spray
400g stewing beef, visible fat removed, cut into bite-size pieces
2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into bite-size pieces
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
200g green beans, trimmed and halved
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 level tbsp jerk seasoning
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
¼ tsp sweetener granules
200g passata with onions and garlic
200ml hot beef stock
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
200g dried long-grain rice
small handful fresh parsley, finely chopped, to serve
What you do:
1. Spray a medium, flameproof, non-stick casserole dish with low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Add the beef and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until lightly browned all over, stirring occasionally. Drain off any fat.
2. Add the peppers, sweet potato, green beans, garlic, jerk seasoning, red wine vinegar, sweetener, passata, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Season lightly and stir well. Turn the heat down, cover and cook for 1½ hours, or until the beef is meltingly tender.
3. When the beef is nearly ready, cook the rice according to the pack instructions, then drain well. Divide the stew and rice between 2 bowls, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
