Weeknight New Zealand Baked Beef Salad

Assemble the ingredients: beef, olive oil, garlic, salt, water, black pepper, carrot.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until baked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of New Zealand flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional New Zealand accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
