Ingredients

500 gram beef strips

1 onion, thinly sliced

150 gram button mushrooms, sliced

1 red capsicum, cut into strips

400 gram can diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

500 gram packet gnocchi

Method

1.Heat a lightly oiled frying pan on high. Stir-fry beef in batches for 2 minutes, until browned. Remove from pan and keep warm.

2.Reduce heat to medium and cook onion for 5 minutes, stirring, until soft and golden. Add mushrooms and capsicum and cook for 5 minutes, until just tender. Stir through tomato and paprika and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until sauce thickens. Stir through beef and season to taste.

3.Meanwhile, cook gnocchi in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water according to packet directions. Drain. Serve tossed through beef and capsicum

Smoked paprika isn’t hot, but if you think the kids may not like the taste, use sweet paprika instead, adding a little of the smoked next time so they become accustomed to the flavour.
