In the same wok, brown the onions and garlic in a little olive oil.
Add the minced beef, along with the rest of the ingredients and simmer for approximately 45 minutes.
Stir periodically to stop the bottom from sticking.
Take out the bay leaves.
Serve with your favourite pasta, over a baked potato or for the base of lasagne.
I chop the vegies in a food processor to save time. With this recipe, it is designed for a family of 4 and for half to be frozen for another meal. Feel free to add any vegies that you have left over in your fridge.
