• 150g green beans
• 1bunch coriander
• 20g roasted peanuts

• 30ml soy sauce

Method

1. Step 1 — Cook rice
   Fill a medium saucepan three-quarters full with water and bring to the boil. Add the rice and cook for 25-27 mins until tender. Drain.
2. Step 2 — Prep ingredients
   Meanwhile, crush or finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the onion. Halve the carrot lengthwise, then thinly slice. Thinly slice the capsicum. Trim the beans. Finely chop the coriander, discarding the stems. Coarsely chop the peanuts.
3. Step 3 — Marinate beef
   Combine the garlic, Chinese barbecue seasoning, a pinch of chilli flakes* (chilli is not essential to this dish; you can omit it or serve it at the table), 2 tbs soy sauce, 1 tsp white vinegar and 2 tsp honey in a large bowl. Separate the beef stir-fry, add to the marinade and toss to coat.
4. Step 4 — Stir-fry beef
   Heat 2 tsp oil in a large deep frypan over high heat until very hot (fast and hot cooking is key to a great stir-fry). Remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Stir-fry the beef for 1-2 mins until browned. Remove from the pan.
5. Step 5 — Stir-fry vegetables
   Heat 1 tsp oil in the same pan over high heat. Stir-fry the onion, carrot, capsicum and beans for 2-3 mins until starting to soften. Add the reserved marinade and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until the vegetables are almost tender.
6. Step 6 — Get ready to serve
   Add the beef and any resting juices to the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until heated through. Stir half the coriander into the rice. Divide the rice and beef stir-fry among bowls. Scatter over the peanuts and remaining coriander to serve.
