Fragrant spiced beef

500grams lean beef stirfry strips
1 tbsn olive oil
1 tspn crushed garlic
1 onion sliced
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 tspn ground coriander
1 tspn ground cumin
1/2 tspn cinnamon
440gram tin tomatoes chopped with their juice
1 tbsn tomato paste

Mix the beef strips with half the oil and all the garlic. Heat a wok or frypan to a high heat and stirfry the beef strips in 2 batches for a couple of minutes til browned. Remove the meat and set aside.

Heat the remaining oil and stirfry the onion and pine nuts for a couple of minutes til browned, then add spices and stirfry for another half minute or so to warm them and release their aromas.

Return the beef strips to the pan along with the chopped tomatoes and juice and the tomato paste. Mix well and allow to heat through for a few minutes till hot, and serve with rice.

(Cous cous would be yummy as well!!)
