Ginger Beef Stir-Fry

Add the rice to the pan of boiling water. Cover with a lid and turn the heat to medium low. Simmer for 10 mins, then remove from the heat and leave to rest for another 10 mins (still covered). The rice will finish cooking in its own steam.

Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan on high heat. When the oil is almost smoking, add the green beans. Cook for 2 mins. Remove from the pan.

Add another splash of oil to the frying pan and return it to high heat. Cook the steak in batches until it is brown on the outside but still pink inside, 1 minute per batch. TIP: Cooking in batches will allow the meat to caramelise rather than stew. As each batch is done, transfer it to a plate.

Put a splash of oil in the (now empty) pan and turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic and ginger and garlic. Fry for 30 seconds. Return the steak and green beans to the pan. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, a squeeze of lime juice and a splash of water. Also add a pinch of sugar (if you have some). Cook, tossing everything in the pan, 2 more mins.
