Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan & a small mixing bowl

Boil the rice

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • Add the beef strips to a bowl and evenly coat with the cornflour and a pinch of sea salt

Sizzle time

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips and cook for 8 mins, stirring often, until golden brown and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside
  • Meanwhile; Cut the spring onions into 3 cm pieces. Thinly slice the carrot into 1cm half-moons. Trim the green beans and cut into thirds

Simmer time

  • Reheat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Add the prepped veg and cook for 5-7 mins until softened. Return the beef to the pan. Add the ginger and garlic paste tamari, honey, and 100ml of water (50ml for 1 person). Cook for 2-3 min, until the sauce thickens.

Make the drizzle

  • Roughly chop the coriander. Quarter the lime
  • Wash out the large bowl. Add the coriander, juice from half the lime, chilli paste ( for those that like the heat) and 1 tsp oil to the small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Serve the beef stir fry into bowls with the rice alongside. Spoon over the chilli drizzle and garnish with the remaining lime wedges
