Cooking Steps

1

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water, basmati rice and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

2

While the rice is cooking, trim and halve the green beans. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Slice the lime into wedges.

3

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the beef strips in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.

4

Return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the ginger lemongrass paste and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce and the brown sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes.

5

Stir through the Asian greens through the sauce and cook until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Add a squeeze of lime and return the beef (and resting juices!) to the pan and stir to combine.

6

Divide the garlic rice between bowls, then top with the ginger and coconut beef. Garnish with the roasted peanuts and serve with the remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
