2 small sized spring onions, chopped
½ small beef stock gel or 100g stock

Tips and Inspiration

Even though a stir-fry might not seem Indian, “beef fry” is a popular dish in the South of India. Here is our twist on beef stir-fry. You can also use pork or chicken, tofu or soya chunks, just ensure you adjust the cooking time accordingly Serve as it is or with plain rice.

Method

Step One

Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the beef and brown. Tip onto a plate.

Step Two

Add the remaining oil and stir-fry the vegetables with a pinch of salt and add the chilli from the whole spice sachet (reserve the other spices for another day). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes and add the beef, stock, base and main sauces from the pouches in along with a good splash of water and a good grinding of black pepper. Cook stirring for another 2-3 minutes or until the beef is cooked to your liking.

Step Three

Garnish with the fresh coriander and coconut. Serve with some rice.

 

Please ensure food is cooked through and piping hot before serving.
