Season with salt and pepper and melt in the chocolate and coriander.

Simmer the mixture covered on low heat or in a 140°C oven for 2 to 3 hours.

Add beef, sugar, tomatoes, stock, and beans to the pan.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Serve over rice with a dollop of soured cream and spring onions.

Stir in the chillies, chilli flakes, powder, and oregano and cook for 2 minutes.

Sauté the onions and celery in the remaining oil until softened.

Brown the beef mince in another tablespoon of oil and set aside with the steak.

Fry diced beef steak in batches until browned and set aside.
