Ingredients 5 ingredients
- 1 lb. cooked beef
- 1 cup stock
- 1 sliced onion
- 4 firm tomatoes
- 2 tablespoonsful grated cheese
Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.
