Full Recipe Instructions

  • Mix the drizzle sauce ingredients in a bowl, set aside.
  • Mix the stir fry sauce ingredients in a separate bowl, set aside.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 drizzle sauce, top with cashews and coriander.

Notes

Toasting cashews enhances flavor. Use fresh vegetables to complement the dish. Leftovers can be stored for 3-4 days in the fridge.
