Method
Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (≈30 s).
Add the beef mince, breaking it up, and brown until no longer pink, about 5‑6 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute to form a light roux.
Pour in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes and peas, then sprinkle mixed herbs, oregano, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, uncovered, for 10‑12 minutes until the sauce coats the meat.
Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve hot with a garnish of extra herbs if desired.
If the sauce gets too thick, splash in a splash of water or extra milk – the secret to a silky finish is a little patience and a whisk!
