Method

Put a large pan on a medium heat and add the olive oil and chopped onion. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until soft and translucent.
Tip in the garlic, chilli powder, paprika and cumin and cook off until they smell delicious, then add the diced beef. Stir and cook until the beef is well browned.
Crumble in the beef stock cube, then add the chopped tomatoes
