Serves: 2   Cook Time: 30 Total Time: 30min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Heat a heavy based frying pan, add the rice and cook over a medium heat for minutes. The grains should be an even golden brown. Grind the rice in a clean coffee grinder or pestle and mortar.
  2. Pre-heat the grill to high and grill the meat for minutes on each side close to the heat - it should be quite rare. Slice it thinly and leave to one side.
  3. Chop the shallots and coriander, slice the spring onions and keep to one side.
  4. Put the stock, fish sauce, lemon juice, chilli and caster sugar into a wok and bring to the boil. Add the beef and stir in the shallots, spring onions, chopped coriander and rice. Stir and heat for a few seconds only. Serve with salad and steamed rice.
