Ingredients

• 220 g lean beef mince
• 170 g jasmine rice
• 1 cup pineapple
• 1 large bell pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 1 lime cut into wedges

Method

1. Step 1

   Cook the 170 g jasmine rice according to the package directions, then fluff it with a fork and keep it warm.

2. Step 2

   Measure out the 220 g lean beef mince and break it up with your hands so it browns evenly in the pan.

3. Step 3

   Dice the pineapple (1 cup), slice the bell pepper into thin strips (1 large), and slice the red onion thinly (1 small).

4. Step 4

   In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the sweet chili garlic sauce so the sauce is ready before you start stir-frying.

5. Step 5

   Season the lean beef mince with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, then cook it in a very hot pan or wok until browned. Remove it to a plate.

6. Step 6

   Add the vegetables to the same pan and stir-fry them for 2 to 4 minutes so they stay crisp and colorful.

7. Step 7

   Return the cooked lean beef mince to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss everything for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.

8. Step 8

   Serve the stir-fry over the jasmine rice, then finish with cilantro and lime.
