Master Savoury Beef Mince Recipe
This simple beef dish not only delights your taste buds but also opens the door to endless possibilities in the kitchen.
Starting with lean, grass-fed beef mince, you’ll experience the rich and natural flavours that only high-quality meat can deliver. The benefits of using grass-fed beef are twofold: it boasts a superior taste profile and is also packed with essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.
In this recipe, the beef mince takes centre stage. A medley of red onion, garlic, carrot, and celery adds a delightful crunch and a burst of freshness to the dish. A dollop of tomato paste, along with crushed tomatoes infused with herbs, brings a robust and tangy element that complements the beef perfectly.
This savoury beef mince concoction shines as a standalone dish with pasta and a fantastic base for other kitchen creations. Imagine layering it between lasagne sheets for a hearty and comforting meal. Craving a classic? Transform this mince into mouthwatering Sloppy Joe’s by sandwiching it between soft burger buns. And let’s not forget about the ultimate comfort food: loaded baked potatoes. Simply spoon this delectable mince over a fluffy baked potato.

Rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate, cabbage boosts your immune system, promotes healthy bones, and aids in cell regeneration. Its high fibre content promotes digestion and supports gut health.
In our Greek-style Mince Cabbage Rolls, the cabbage leaves are the perfect vessel for a filling of lean beef mince, aromatic garlic, diced red onion, and a harmonious blend of dill and oregano. As the cabbage rolls bake to perfection in tomato passata with basil, the flavours meld together, creating a dish that is as comforting as it is nutritious.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add mince and cook, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add half the passata, season and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until sauce slightly thickens. Stir through herbs and rice and set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add 4 cabbage leaves to pan. Cook for 1 minute or until softened. Refresh in a bowl of cold water. Drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining leaves.
- Place 1 dry cabbage leaf on chopping board and place 1/4 cup mince mixture at stem end of leaf. Fold edges in and roll up firmly to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining leaves and mince mixture.
- Place cabbage rolls in a lightly oiled 2-L capacity (8-cup) baking dish, pour over remaining passata, sprinkle with feta and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
- Sprinkle cabbage rolls with extra dill and serve with salad and lemon wedges.
Notes
- Alternatively, at step 4 place a large bamboo steamer over a wok or large saucepan of simmering water. Place cabbage parcels, seam side down, in steamer. Cover with lid. Steam for 3-5 minutes or until cabbage is tender. Serve topped with remaining warmed passata, feta and extra dill. Serve with salad and lemon wedges.
- Basil, thyme or chives would also work well in this recipe.
- Substitute ricotta or goats cheese for the feta cheese.
At Provenir, we are also committed to the ‘paddock to plate‘ philosophy. This means we reduce the distance that meat travels to reach your plate as much as possible by using mobile abattoirs on the farms where animals are reared, which is also a more humane option for them.
Beef Mince Bowl With Asian Greens
While this dish showcases the rich flavours of lean beef mince and a medley of vibrant Asian greens, it also offers a nutritious twist by incorporating the health benefits of tofu.
Tofu—a versatile and protein-packed ingredient made from soybeans—has long been a staple in Asian cuisine. Its numerous health benefits make it a popular choice among those seeking a nutritious and plant-based addition to their meals. It’s an excellent source of high-quality protein, providing all essential amino acids necessary for muscle growth and repair. It’s also low in saturated fat and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy option. Additionally, tofu contains minerals like calcium and iron.
In our Beef Mince Bowl With Asian Greens, the tofu joins forces with grass-fed beef mince, creating a delectable and satisfying combination of textures. The beef mince, sautéed to perfection with onion, garlic, and fresh ginger, is elevated by the sweet notes of kecap manis.
To complete this wholesome creation, serve the beef mince and tofu mixture over a bed of steamed Asian greens and egg noodles. Bliss.
