Crush or finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the capsicum. Halve the carrot lengthwise, then thinly slice on an angle. Thinly slice the spring onion on an angle. Combine the sweet chilli sauce, 2 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sugar in a bowl.
Step 2 — Stir-fry beef
Combine the garlic, 2 tsp vegetable oil and 1 tsp soy sauce in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Separate the beef stir-fry into the marinade and stir to combine. Heat a medium deep frypan over high heat until very hot (see Kitchen 101). Stir-fry the beef mixture for 1-2 mins until browned. Remove from the pan.
Step 3 — Stir-fry veggies
Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in the same pan over high heat. Stir-fry the capsicum and carrot for 3-4 mins until tender. Add the beef, sweet chilli sauce mixture and half the spring onion. Bring to the boil and cook, stirring, for 30 secs. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 4 — Microwave rice
Massage the packet of rice to loosen and tear a 2cm opening for the steam to escape. Heat in the microwave for 90 secs or until warmed through.
Step 5 — Serve up
Divide the rice and beef stir-fry among bowls. Scatter over the remaining spring onion and enjoy!
Step 6 — Kitchen 101
Ensuring the pan is really hot before adding the beef prevents it from stewing and gives it a nice browned finish.
