Cook's notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.

Instructions

Marinating time: 15 minutes

Put the beef, garlic, lime juice and pepper in a glass bowl. Stir to combine, then set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Spray a large non-stick wok with canola oil and place over high heat. Stir-fry the marinated beef in two batches for 2–3 minutes or until just cooked. Transfer the beef to a plate.

Stir-fry the carrot, capsicum and snake beans in the wok for 5–6 minutes or until slightly softened. Add

the snow peas, bok choy and 2 tablespoons water, and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the greens start to wilt.

Return the beef and juices to the wok and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until well combined and heated through.

Serve the beef and vegetables accompanied by the brown rice.

Note

• Chicken or pork fillet can be used instead of the beef. Try adding Thai basil, lemongrass or coriander (cilantro) for extra flavour.
