  1. Fry the onions, garlic and ginger gently in a spray of oil for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add meat, stirring to brown.
  3. Mix dry spices together and add water to make paste. Add paste to fry pan.
  4. Add all remaining ingredients except beans and rice. Bring to the boil, and then reduce heat to very low. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours* or until the meat is tender (the longer you cook it, the more tender the meat will become). Stir occasionally so mixture doesn't stick to base of pot and burn.
  5. Add frozen beans and cook for another 15 minutes.
  6. Serve with brown rice

Note: If using a crock-pot, cook on low for 6-8 hours. And to make your steak extra tender, pound it or marinate with kiwifruit.
