INGREDIENTS
3 garlic cloves, sliced
500g lean beef mince
2 tablespoons Gourmet Garden Thai Stir-in Seasoning
250ml (1 cup) pineapple juice
1 tablespoon Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce
2 teaspoons coconut sugar
350g green beans, trimmed, sliced
1 cup fresh coriander sprigs
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
2 long fresh red chillies, thinly sliced
Steamed rice, to serve (optional)
METHOD
Step 1
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Spray with oil. Cook garlic for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate. Set aside. Add beef. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, until browned.
Step 2
Add seasoning. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add pineapple juice, oyster sauce and sugar. Simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until the liquid reduces and the mixture is dark golden and sticky.
Step 3
Add the beans and cook, stirring often, for 1-2 minutes, until tender crisp. Stir through the coriander and mint. Sprinkle with chilli and garlic. Serve with rice, if you like.
NOTES
Swap out beans for other green veggies you need to use up. Chopped zucchini or frozen peas would also work well.
