Cook

Heat pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté 1 brown onionuntil translucent (approx. 2-3 minutes). Add 1 kg (2 lb) lean beef mince and cook until mostly browned (approx. 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Gently melt the 2 tbsp butter on the pan then add in 2 tbsp flour and 2 tbsp curry powder and whisk to create a thick paste. Then, pour in 1 cup stock and 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce. Allow it to come to a bubble.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 10 minutes or up to an hour. During this time you can prepare the 500 g (2 ½ cups) rice according to the packet instructions or follow my tips and tricks.

Notes

Storing

Store mince and rice separately or on separate ends of the container to ensure the rice doesn't get soggy

Reheating

Microwave. Add a splash of water or an icecube to the rice before reheating (this will create some steam and help it remain fluffy). Microwave on 1 minute intervals (for approx. 2-3 minutes).

Stove. You could also reheat on the stove over medium heat (approx. 5 minutes).

Freeze

Freeze mince and rice separately, or make rice fresh. Freeze for up to 6 months in an airtight container or bag.
