Tips

Method

Step 1

To make the dressing, whisk together the soy sauce, sunflower oil, ginger, garlic, lime juice, sugar and chilli (if using). Divide in half.

Step 2

Marinate the beef strips in half the dressing.

Step 3

Place the salad mix, capsicum, spring onions, tomato, bean shoots, mint and coriander in a large bowl.

Step 4

Add the other half of the dressing and toss gently. Divide the salad into 4 individual serving bowls.

Step 5

Grease a large non-stick fry pan with sunflower oil and place over a high heat. Add the beef and stir fry until browned. Top each salad with an equal amount of beef.

Note – Discard the dressing that was used to marinate the beef strips.


Food safety tip: if you are taking leftovers for lunch, meat needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
