Beef Satay with Wide Brown Rice Noodles, Mangetout & Peanut Sauce

Prep time: 15 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Food group: Beef

Our satay beef will go down a treat with the whole family. We are talking tender British beef, sizzled with sticky honey, then stirred through a creamy peanut sauce (made extra velvety by swirls of creamed coconut). Brown rice noodles soak up all the flavour, while crunchy mangetout add a pop of colour. A family favourite that is big on flavour and low on effort.

Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to the boil
  • Boil a half-full kettle
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a measuring jug, a sieve & a grater

Sizzle & prep

  • Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until golden brown
  • Finely chop or crush the garlic. Halve the limes
  • Add the garlic and ginger paste. Cook for 1 min, then add the tamari and the juice from half a lime. Remove from the pan and set aside

Boil the noodles & soften the veg

  • Coarsely grate the carrots (peel optional). Thinly slice the peppers
  • Add the noodles to the large saucepan, gently separate with a fork and simmer for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the carrot and pepper. Cook for 3-4 mins, until softened. Toss in the mangetout and cook for another 2-3 mins

Make the satay

  • Meanwhile, add the creamed coconut and peanut butter to the measuring jug with 150ml boiling water. Whisk until smooth. Squeeze in the juice from 1 lime and the honey. Season with a generous pinch of salt
  • Add the satay sauce to the veg pan, stir through the cooked noodles and beef. Cook for a further minute to warm through. Season to taste

Plate up

  • Serve the satay noodles into bowls, pouring over any remaining sauce. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes (for those who'd like the heat). Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
