Thai beef stir-fry

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 400g Beef
• 1 sliced Red Chilli
• 2 tblsp Oyster Sauce
• Handful Basil Leaves

Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.

Method

1. Get a wok or large frying pan really hot, almost smoking.
2. Add the oil and tilt the pan so it coats the base.
3. Tip in the beef strips and sliced chilli.
4. Stir constantly and fry for about 3 mins, until the beef is lightly browned.
5. Pour in the oyster sauce and keep stirring until the meat is well coated and piping hot.
6. Toss through the basil leaves until just wilted.
7. Serve straight away with plain rice.
