Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Healthier chilli beef with egg fried rice
- Put the beef in a non-metallic bowl with the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, lime juice and chopped chilli. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Cook the rice to pack instructions.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok, then add the broccoli, ginger and chilli powder. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, adding the carrot ribbons for the final minute.
- Add the beef with the marinade and the chopped coriander and stir-fry briskly for 1-2 minutes, until the beef is cooked to your liking.
- Serve the beef alongside the rice, and garnish with the extra coriander and wedges of lime to squeeze over.
Cook's tip: To get really thin strips of beef, freeze the steak for 10 minutes to firm it up before slicing.
