Cooking Time
5 mins

1llb lean steak (rump or sirloin)
1 beef stock cube dissolved in 1/4 pint of boiling water
4 tbsps light soy sauce
1 tsps ground coriander
300ml (1/2pint) tomato passata
1 small red chilli, finely sliced
1 tsps finely chopped lemongrass
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsps chopped fresh coriader
salt & freshly gound black pepper

1. Remove any fat from the meat and discard. Slice the meat into thin strips and place into a shallow dish. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2. Combine the remaining ingredients except the fresh coriader, and pour over the beef. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hour, mixing periodically.

3. Strain the marinade from the beef and reserve. Preheat a non-stick frying pan and stir-fry the beef quickly over a high heat for 1-2 mins until cooked to your liking. Add the reserved marinade and heat through.

4. Stir in fresh coriander and serve on a bed of rice.

(The trick is to leave this dish marinade as long as possible)
