BEEF LARB RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a mini processor, whizz the shallots, fish sauce, lime juice, fresh coriander leaves, fresh ginger and olive oil to a rough paste. 
• In a large frying pan, heat a glug of olive oil, then add the ground coriander, chopped green chilli, chopped shallot and crushed garlic cloves and fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the minced beef and fry for 8-10 minutes, then stir in the paste. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked. Slice the bunch of spring onions, then stir three quarters into the beef with a handful of chopped fresh coriander and the sweet chilli sauce. 
• To serve, grate over a little more fresh ginger, then spoon into little gem lettuce leaves. Garnish with extra chopped coriander and the remaining sliced spring onions. Serve with steamed jasmine rice if you want a more substantial meal.

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the pack instructions, then spread over a tray to cool.
• Heat a little oil in a large frying pan. Crush in the garlic and sizzle gently for a couple of minutes, taking care not to let it burn. Add the beef mince, chilli flakes and the fish and soy sauces. Turn the heat to high and fry for a few minutes, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon. When the meat is cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
• In another large frying pan, heat a little more oil over a high heat. Crack in the eggs and leave to set for a few seconds, then push them around the pan with a spatula to break them up. Add the cooled rice, season, then toss over a high heat until golden.
• Return the mince to the hob to reheat quickly, then squeeze the limes and add the juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then toss through most of the coriander. Divide the rice and beef among bowls, then serve garnished with the remaining coriander.
