Ingredients

500 g lean beef strips, such as rump or sirloin

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 red capsicum, thinly sliced

1 carrot, thinly sliced

2 cups snow peas, trimmed

2 cups mushrooms, sliced

2 spring onions, sliced

1/2 cup (40 g) unsalted almonds, roughly chopped

Ginger & lime sauce

1 tablespoon reduced-salt soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Method

  1. Combine the soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, water and cornflour in a small bowl.
