3. Turn heat to high and add crushed tomatoes, 400ml water, remaining 1/2 stock cube and currants. Dice carrots and grate zucchini, add to pan and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Cut beef steaks into thin slices and toss with 2 tbsp flour. Add to the pan and simmer for a further 5 minutes, or until meat is cooked. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
