Pan-Fried Beef Strips

Pop the steak strips in a bowl with the lime zest. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and set aside. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the leek and carrot with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir fry until the leek is soft, 3-4 mins.

Once the leek is soft, stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the coconut milk and boiling water (see ingredient list for amount). Add a good pinch of salt and pepper and bring the mixture to the boil. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the carrots are tender, 5 mins.

While the veg cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Once hot, add the steak strips and stir fry until browned on the outside, about 3 mins. Once cooked remove to a bowl to rest and cover with tin foil.

Once the veg are soft, add the noodles to the pan with the veg and coconut. Use a fork to unravel them and cook them uncovered until tender, 4 mins. TIP: Add a splash of water if the noodles have soaked up too much of the liquid - it's supposed to be quite soupy!
