Serves: 2

Ingredients

For the stir fry

• 1 red bell pepper

• 1 medium red onion

• 1 packet of button mushrooms

• 1 red chilli and 1 green chilli

• 2 sirloin steaks

• 1tbsp sesame oil, to fry

• 100g pineapple

• 2 cloves garlic

• 1 inch of grated ginger

• coriander and spring onions to serve

For the sauce

• 40ml coconut milk

• 1 heaped teaspoon of tomato puree

• 40ml soy sauce

• 1tsp paprika

Method

Measure out the sauce ingredients and combine all of it together in a bowl. Gather the spices together.

Cut up the mushrooms, peppers, red onion, pineapple, chillies, ginger and garlic.

Slice up the beef into small strips and season well.

Heat the sauce in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Then reduce and let it simmer gently and slowly reduce. Take it off the heat once it's thickened slightly.

Heat the oil in a wok (or any frying pan will do, I just used a wok to be fancy :) over a medium-high heat. Once it's hot add in the steak and fry until just browned on the outside.

Add in the mushrooms, peppers, chillies and red onions. fry until soft with a bit of crunch. Don't worry if you over cook or under cook- it's not that important.

Next add in the ginger, garlic and pineapple - all the pale yellow-y stuff really.

Stir in the sauce and let it bubble away. It should continue to reduce and become sticky around everything. Then toss in your beef and coat everything. Cook until the steak is cooked to as much as you desire. Serve with coriander and coconut rice ( you don't have to use coconut rice but OMG it's so amazingg) and garnish with a little spring onion!
