Spicy steak stirfry

As well being marvellously alliterative, this dish is so delicious you will lick the bowl clean. Feeds 2 generously.

  • ½ red pepper, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 100g green beans, cut into 2cm lengths

  • 1 heaped tsp cornflour
  • Small handful fresh coriander, chopped
  1. Have everything ready and to hand. This is a quickie!
  2. Heat a wok over the highest heat until scorching hot. Keep.it this hot all the way through

  4. Stir fry veg until browned round the edges and starting to soften
  5. Add the garlic and stir in

  8. Stir in and bring to a bubble
  9. Pour in the cornflour slurry and mix quickly in create a glossy sauce
