The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Pull out a large frying pan, a measuring jug & a sieve

Get started

Dice the pepper into 2cm chunks. Thinly slice the onion. Roughly chop the coriander
Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips, pepper and onion and cook for 3 mins, until golden
Stir in the cumin and garlic herb paste and cook for 1 min more

Simmer simmer

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add them to the pan, along with the sundried tomato paste, passata and 200ml water (100ml for 1 person)
Add the stock powder, bring to a boil, then simmer for 8 mins, until the sauce has thickened and the beef is cooked
In the final 2-3 mins, add the mangetout and half the coriander and cook for the remaining time. Season to taste with salt

Plate up

Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
Share the beef and chickpea stew between bowls. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander
