Ingredients for seared beef and bean sprouts in a spicy lime dressing

This dish is similar to an Indo-Chinese dish, Goi Bo and variation of it that are found in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. Because the beef is only cooked for a short time, it's worth using high quality beef such as fillet for this dish.

The marinade

  1. Whisk the lime juice and zest, jaggery and nuoc mam until the jaggery dissolves
  2. (if the jaggery is solid and hard, first crush it with the end of a rolling pin)

The beef

  1. In a hot pan with a little oil, sear the fillets for 2 minutes per side, remove and allow to cool

  4. Blanch the bean sprouts for 1 minutes in just boiled water. Allow to cool then arrange in a large serving bowl with the mint, basil and the chopped spring onions.

Serving suggestions

Garnish with lime slices and serve with coconut rice

Chef's notes

I also added some raw sliced button mushrooms to the bean sprouts because I happened to have some left over.
