Ingredients ...
  • 300 – 400g beef fillet (or substitute with scotch fillet or rump)
  • salt, to season
  • 1 – 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 large red chilli, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ginger, minced (or grated)
  • 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 sticks celery, sliced diagonally
  • ¼ medium yellow (or red) capsicum, sliced
  • 10 snow peas, topped and tailed, sliced diagonally
  • ½ cup cashew nuts
  • 1 ½ tablespoon soy sauce (I use Tamari)
  • 1 ½ tablespoon honey
  • ½ cup fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup shallots, sliced finely diagonally
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
Method ...
  1. Cut beef into strips or small pieces approximately 3 – 4 mm thick. Season with salt and set aside.
  2. Prepare remaining ingredients according to the ingredients list in preparation for cooking the stir-fry.
  3. Add peanut oil to a wok and heat to a reasonably high heat (but not so high that the oil is splattering). Cook beef in 3 – 4 batches in a single layer. Simply sear each side of the beef and be careful not to overcook. It will continue to cook slightly once removed from the hot wok. Don’t add all the beef to the pan at once or it will simply stew and lose it’s tenderness. Once cooked, remove the beef from the wok and place on a clean plate and set aside.
  4. With the remaining oil in the wok, add the chilli, ginger and garlic and stir-fry, stirring for 1 – 2 minutes.
  5. Add the celery and capsicum and stir-fry for 1 – 2 minutes.
  6. Add the snow peas and cashew nuts and stir-fry for 1 – 2 minutes.
  7. Return the beef to the wok, add soy sauce and honey and stir-fry for 1 minute, stirring to blend ingredients.
  8. Serve immediately with steamed rice, lime wedges and garnish generously with fresh coriander and shallots.
