Asian Stir Fried Scotch Beef in Lettuce Cups

  • Prep 15 mins
  • Cook 10 mins
  • Serves 4 as main

Ingredients

Cooking Method

  • 1
    Mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar in a small bowl.
  • 2
    De-seed and finely chop the chilli, peel and grate the ginger, mince the garlic. Also pick the leaves from the lettuces, being careful not to tear them.
  • 3
    Heat a wok on a high heat. Once hot add the vegetable oil. Add the chopped chilli, ginger and garlic to the pan, being careful not to burn yourself. Let it sizzle in the pan for a minute while stirring - don’t let it burn. Add the minced beef, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat and allowing it to get as much contact with the pan as possible. Cook until the meat has browned all over and is starting to crisp up - the pan needs to be very hot.
  • 4
    Once the meat is thoroughly cooked and slightly crispy (this should take around 5-6 minutes) add the fish sauce mixture. Mix well and keep cooking for a minute or two.
  • 5
    Turn off the heat. Add the zest and juice of 1 lime and mix well.
  • 6
    Serve the lettuce cups filed with the beef topped with chopped coriander if serving as a starter or canape. If serving as a main meal place everything on the table, with some steamed rice perhaps, so people can make up their own lettuce cups.
