Ingredients
For the sauce:
125 ml (½ cup) Soy Sauce
75 ml (⅓ cup) Honey
2 tablespoons Sriracha
1-inch piece Fresh Ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lime
For the stir fry:
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange), sliced
1 courgette (zucchini), chopped
600 g (1⅓ lb) rump steak, thinly sliced
½ bunch spring onions, chopped
½ bunch fresh basil, chopped
Optional: ½ bunch fresh coriander (cilantro)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl or measuring jug, combine soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice. Stir well and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, and courgette. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are golden and tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced beef and cook without turning for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked vegetables back to the skillet and toss everything together in the sauce. Stir in the chopped spring onions and basil. Serve the stir fry over rice and garnish with extra spring onions and herbs if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier stir fry, add more Sriracha or some red pepper flakes to your sauce.
- Feel free to swap the courgette for broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms.
- To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Customize your protein: use chicken, tofu, or another meat in place of beef.
