In a separate pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in diced tomato, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Add beef mince, breaking it apart while cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the mince with salt, black pepper, and paprika, stirring to combine.

Add chopped collard greens and diced carrot to the beef mixture, cooking until greens are wilted, about 5 minutes.

Pour in a splash of lemon juice and crumble in a stock cube, stirring to incorporate.

Simmer the mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes to meld flavors.
