Spicy and tangy Asian dish for a quick midweek meal.
Ingredients:
  • 5x 100g beef minute steaks, cut into thin strips
  • 200g dried rice stick noodles
  • 120ml vegetable oil
  • 1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2cm piece ginger, cut into julienne (matchsticks)
  • 48.80 gm oyster sauce
  • 2 long red chillies, seeded, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 150g green beans, trimmed, sliced on the diagonal into 3cm lengths
  • 62.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 62.50 ml mint leaves
  • Lime cheeks, to serve
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 limes, zested, juiced
  • 1 long red chilli, roughly chopped
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, white part only, roughly chopped
  • 2cm piece ginger, roughly chopped
  • 5 coriander roots, washed
  • 55g (1/4 cup firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
Instructions:
  • Prepare the marinade by blending all ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped, setting aside 1 tablespoon. Toss the beef with the rest of the marinade in a bowl and let it sit for 30 minutes.
  • Place noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for 8 minutes or until soft. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
  • In a large wok over high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Cook half of the beef, stirring constantly, until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining beef using another 2 tablespoons of oil. Wipe the wok clean with a paper towel between batches.
  • In a hot wok, add the onion, garlic, and ginger to 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook for 5 minutes until they start to turn golden. Be cautious as the mixture may splatter. Add oyster sauce, chillies, beans, and reserved marinade. Stir-fry for another 5 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
  • Combine noodles, beef, any meat juices, and half of the herbs together. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in bowls, garnish with the rest of the herbs, and enjoy with lime cheeks on the side.
