ASIAN SAUCE
In a bowl, combine the Asian sauce, the peanut butter, the grated garlic (to taste), ½ the chilli flakes (to taste), the juice from 1 lemon wedge (to taste), 10ml of sweetener, and 30ml of water. Set aside.
BROWN THE BEEF
Place a pan or wok over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the beef chunks dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the beef until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, set aside, and season.
ALL TOGETHER NOW!
Return the pan or wok to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion slices until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the sliced green beans and fry until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the sliced cabbage and the grated carrot, and fry until slightly softened but still crunchy, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Toss through the browned beef and the Asian peanut sauce. Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Loosen with a splash of water if the sauce reduces too quickly. Remove from the heat and season.
