Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large bowl, a small bowl, a measuring jug & a sieve

Boil the rice

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

Sizzle & prep

  • 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
  • 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. Remove from the pan and set aside
  • Meanwhile, cut the spring onions into 3cm pieces. Thinly slice the carrot into 1cm half-moons. Trim the green beans and cut into thirds

Simmer time

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the carrot, green beans and spring onion and cook for 5-7 mins until softened. Return the beef to the pan
  • Add the ginger & garlic paste, tamari, honey, and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person). Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 min, until the sauce thickens

Make the drizzle

  • Roughly chop the coriander. Quarter the lime
  • To the small bowl, add the coriander, juice from half the lime, chilli paste (use less for less heat) and 1 tsp olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt

Plate up

  • Serve the beef stir fry into bowls, with the rice alongside. Spoon over the chilli drizzle and garnish with the remaining lime wedges
