Ingredients

½ tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 small knob of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 small red chillies, finely chopped
240g beef scotch fillet, quite thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 onion, finely sliced
½ green capsicum, chopped
3 spears asparagus, woody ends trimmed, chopped
3 spring onions, chopped
2 kaffir lime leaves, very finely sliced

Preparation method

Heat the peanut oil in a wok or frying pan over a high heat. Add the garlic,
ginger and chilli and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add the beef and stir-fry for
4 minutes.

Keep the ingredients moving to stop the garlic and chilli burning. Remove
everything from the pan and add the sesame oil.

Still over a high heat, add the onion and capsicum and stir-fry for about a minute.
Add the asparagus and spring onions and cook for a further minute.

Finally, add the kaffir lime leaves and the beef and stir briefly just to warm the beef.

Divide between two warmed bowls and serve straight away.
