INGREDIENTS
- 1/3 cup roasted cashews
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 500 g beef mince
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp roughly chopped coriander/cilantro leaves
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove
- 3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp fish sauce
PREPARATION STEPS
- Drizzle sauce – Mix the ingredients in a bowl, set aside.
- Stir fry sauce – Mix the ingredients in a separate bowl, set aside.
- Toast cashews – Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the cashews and toast for 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board then roughly chop once cool.
- Cook beef – Heat the oil in the same pan over high heat. Add the garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until you no longer see raw meat.
- Sauce it! Add the cooking sauce and cook well, stirring, until it mostly reduces down so the sauce caramelises on the beef, about 3 – 4 minutes.
- Serve the beef over rice with a side of veg. Douse everything with the sauce, top with cashews and coriander.
