Instructions
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook ginger paste, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and a generous pinch of salt to the pan and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, slice red onion and tomato into wedges. Thinly slice cucumber into half moons. Pick mint leaves. • Zest lime to get a pinch and slice into wedges. Lightly crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin. • In a medium bowl, combine lime zest, peppercorns, beef strips, onion, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. • In a small bowl, combine a good squeeze of lime juice, fish sauce & rice vinegar mix, the soy sauce, the brown sugar and a drizzle of olive oil.
TIP: Use as much or little fish sauce and rice vinegar mix as you'd like!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef and onion, tossing, in batches (this helps the beef stay tender!), until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. • To the bowl with beef, add tomato, cucumber, mint and fish sauce dressing.
• Divide ginger rice and Thai lime and pepper beef salad between bowls. • Spoon over remaining dressing. Sprinkle over chilli flakes (if using). Serve with remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
