Heat oil in a large sauce pan. Saute onions and garlic until soft.
Add beef(mince) and brown over high heat, stirring constantly to break lumps.
Add tomatoes and their juices, tomato paste, herbs, seasonings and water or stock. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 40-60 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and sauce is thick.
