Coriander salsa

  1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the oil, onion and garlic. Fry for a few minutes until fragrant, then add the beef and brown well. Add the tomato paste and canned tomatoes along with the seasoning mix, salt, soy sauce and sugar. Simmer for about 30 minutes until the mixture is thickened and rich.
