Method: Cut steak into 1½ in. cubes and toss in seasoned flour. Heat oil or butter, and cook meat and onion until browned; add water, cover and simmer for an hour.

Add garlic, tomato puree, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard. Bring mixture back to the boil, add prepared vegetables, cook with lid on until vegetables are tender but still crisp. Add pineapple and adjust seasoning. Serve with boiled rice.
