Tasty Steak Stir Fry

tasty steak stir fry

This stir-fried steak recipe packs a punch with a tasty citrus basil dressing and herby onion rice. Mmmmmm.

Ingredients

* 1 large handful green beans, chopped

* 1 medium handful fresh basil

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 2 tablespoons lemon juice

* 2 sirloin steaks (weighing approx 200g each)

* 1 capsicum, deseeded and sliced

* 1 quantity herby onion rice*

Instructions

Plunge the beans into a saucepan of boiling, salted water for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly. Drain.

To make the dressing, finely slice half the basil leaves and put into a small bowl with 1 tablespoon oil and the lemon juice. Mix together.

Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan or wok. Season the steaks with salt and pepper then fry over a high heat for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.

Heat the remaining oil in the pan (there’s no need to wash it first). Add the capsicum and fry for 5 minutes until golden. Meanwhile, slice the steak into strips.

Add the rice to the pan and fry for 5 minutes, stirring, until hot through. Add the beans and steak strips. Stir over a high heat for 1-2 minutes until everything is hot. Add the remaining basil then divide among 4 plates. Drizzle over the dressing and serve.

*Herby onion rice

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy-based saucepan. Add 2 thinly sliced onions and 1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme or rosemary. Season and cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions are soft. Add 1 1/2 cups medium-grain rice and 3 cups vegetable stock then cover and bring to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is almost cooked.
