- 58 g bean thread noodles
- boiling water as needed, for the noodles
- olive oil spray
- 115 g beef sirloin steak trimmed
- 1 long red chilli such as Fresno or jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemongrass finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 100 g snow peas trimmed and halved crosswise
- ¼ red capsicum (pepper) seeded and thinly sliced
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander (cilantro) chopped, plus more for serving
- baby lettuce leaves for serving
Place the noodles in a medium heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water, and set aside for 3 to 4 minutes, or just until softened. Drain well.
Meanwhile, coat a wok with olive oil spray and heat over high heat. Add the beef and sear for 2 minutes each side, or until cooked to medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the chili, lemongrass, and garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the snow peas and bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes more, or until crisp-tender.
Return the beef to the wok and add the noodles, lime juice, and cilantro. Toss to combine. Spoon the mixture into the lettuce leaves, scatter with cilantro, and serve immediately.
