Cook's notes
Oven climate is for conventional if using fan-forced (convection), lessen the temperature by 20C. We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml 1 cup equals 250 ml. All herbs are fresh (unless of course specified) and cups are gently packed. All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless of course specified. All eggs are 55-60 g, unless of course specified.
Instructions
Heat oil inside a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic clove and prepare for several minutes or until softened.
Add chilli, cumin, coriander, bay leaf, flour and beef and prepare, stirring, for 4 minutes or until beef has browned.

Season with pepper and salt. Serve capped with chopped avocado and tomato and additional coriander leaves.
