Method

  1. 1

    Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the onion until soft.

  2. 2

    Add the salami and fry for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomato puree, cook for 1 minute, then add the stock, gherkin, capers and bay leaf. Simmer for 12 minutes, then add the beef and simmer for 1–2 minutes until just cooked.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  5. 5

    Ladle into a bowl, top with a slice of lemon, a spoonful of soured cream and a scattering of dill.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 135 ml soured cream, 15 g dill and 110 g beef sirloin. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
