Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 170°C.
  • Heat oil in a casserole dish over high heat and brown the beef in batches.
  • Set the browned beef aside in a separate dish.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and cook the onion and garlic for 5–8 minutes until soft.
  • Stir in the chilli, oregano, cocoa, and tomato purée, then return the beef to the pan.
  • Add tomatoes and stock, bring to a simmer, and oven-cook covered for one hour.
  • Stir in kidney beans and peppers and cook for another hour until meat is tender.
  • Spoon the beef mixture into individual dishes, leaving 2cm of space at the top.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Mix flour, cornmeal, and salt in a bowl.
  • Whisk melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, green chilli, and baking powder in a jug.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Spread the batter over the beef and sprinkle with grated cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until golden-brown and serve immediately.
