Cooking Steps
Zest and juice the lime. Slice the chilli and green beans on the diagonal and chop the lemongrass. Peel and cut the garlic and the ginger. Chop the coriander stems and pick the leaves. To make the marinade, process the lime zest, juice, sliced chilli, chopped lemongrass, coriander stems, brown sugar and half of the peeled and crushed garlic, peeled and chopped ginger, and oil until well combined. If you do not have a food processor or stick blender, finely chop all ingredients and mix together. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade. Cut the minute steaks. Combine the beef and remaining marinade in a bowl, and stand for about 20 minutes. The longer you leave it, the stronger the flavours will be.
Meanwhile, place the noodles in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and soak for 8 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in a wok over a high heat. Cut the broccoli into florets. Add the peeled and cut onion, broccoli, remaining garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the garlic and ginger are starting to turn golden. Take care as the mixture may separate, reduce the heat to medium and add oyster sauce, beans, reserved marinade, and the beef. Stir-fry for a further 5 minutes or until beans are just tender and the beef is browned.
Add the noodles and half of the chopped coriander and mint leaves to the wok and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls, scatter with remaining herbs and serve.
