Ingredients

  • 200g minute, thin cut or flash-fry beef steaks
  • 150g wholewheat noodles
  • 4 teaspoons rapeseed or olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and finely sliced

Method

  1. Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, drain, rinse and set aside.
  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan or wok and heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in the pan.  Add the onion, carrot and pepper.  Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add the kale or chard and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Stir through the noodles.

  6. Spoon the salad onto a warm plate, drizzle with the remaining lime juice and serve immediately.

Tips:

If preferred use any steak of your choice. If pressed for time use a packet of prepared stir fry vegetables instead.
