Ingredients

• Sun-dried beef - 200 grams
• Pumpkin (cubed) - 300 grams

• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Onion (chopped) - 1 medium
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are translucent.
3. Add the sun-dried beef to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. In a baking dish, combine the cubed pumpkin with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Toss well to coat the pumpkin evenly.

6. If using, sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the beef and pumpkin mixture.
