  1. MAKE THE PASTE

    Using the back of a spoon, crush the peppercorns. In a bowl, combine the crushed peppercorns (to taste), the grated garlic, the sliced chilli (to taste), ½ the soy sauce, 5ml of a sweetener of choice, and ½ of the lime juice. Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until combined. Add the beef strips and toss until coated.

  2. PEANUTTY PERFECTION

    Place the peanuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and roughly chop.

  3. A FRESH TAKE

    In a bowl, combine the grated or ribboned carrot, the sliced cabbage, a drizzle of oil, the spring onion whites, seasoning, and ½ the sliced mint. Set aside.

  4. MARINATION STATION

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced onion and fry for 3-5 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the beef strips and the marinade and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Set aside to rest.

  5. DRESSED TO THE NINES

    In a small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce and lime juice, seasoning, and any remaining pan juices.

  6. OODLES OF NOODLES

    Plate up the carrot ‘noodles’ and top with the juicy beef and onions. Drizzle over the zingy soy dressing and scatter over the toasted peanuts. Garnish with the remaining mint and spring onion greens. Time to enjoy, Chef!
