Before you start

Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer 200
Line a baking tray with parchment paper
Pull out a large frying pan & a measuring jug

Make the fries

Cut the potatoes into thin fries
Place the fries onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, until soft and golden

Get sizzlin'

Meanwhile, peel the onion and cut into 2 cm wedges. Cut the peppers into 3cm strips.
Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and pepper and cook for 3-4 mins, until softening. Add the beef and garlic paste, cook for 3 mins

Combine the flavours

Sprinkle the cornflour over the beef and mix. Add the whole tomatoes, tamari, vinegar, half the chilli paste (for those who'd like the heat), stock powder and 150ml water (75ml for 1 person)
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 8 mins, until the sauce thickens and the beef is cooked through. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry. Season to taste
Roughly chop the coriander. Halve the lime
Meanwhile add the coriander, juice from the lime and remaining chilli paste (for those who'd like the heat) to the small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

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
Share the fries between plates, topped with the beef. Drizzle over the coriander and chilli
