Instructions
Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water (for the rice) and 1/2 the salt to the pan and bring to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, roughly chop the capsicum. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Slice the lemon (see ingredients list) into wedges.
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, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the capsicum, carrot and a splash of water and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the Asian greens, soy sauce and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and cook until the greens have wilted, 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the Sichuan garlic paste, water (for the sauce) and beef strips. Toss to combine and coat the beef in the sauce.
Divide the garlic rice between plates and top with the Sichuan beef stir-fry. Squeeze over lemon juice and sprinkle with the crispy shallots to serve.
