- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large pan and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes until lightly coloured. Add the beef and fry for another 10 minutes until browned on all sides.

This is an absolutely delicious meal, but it looks quite different than the picture. We use way more herbs. If you want the vegetarian version you just want to eliminate the meat or replace it by mushroom or tofu cheese. - 12 Sep 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Followed the instructions to the letter and it looks nothing like the photo in the recipe. Gotta say it was delicious. Will definitely cook it again - 06 Mar 2017 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
