Beef

Use the same weight; cut into cubes and add only for the last 10 minutes. It will not take long cooking and gives a mild, milky result.

Use the same weight; peel, cube and parboil, then add 20 minutes before the end. Gives a starchy body but no meaty flavour.

Use the same weight; halve or quarter and add 10 minutes before the end. Juicy and savoury, but cooking time is much shorter than beef.

Use the same weight as the beef; cube and add for the last 10 minutes only. Mild and creamy, so boost spices slightly.

Use the same weight; parboil cubes and add 20 minutes before the end. Hearty but starchy; adjust salt.
