Ingredients
- 250 g beef strips
- 1 sachet (approx. 15 g) Tex-Mex spice blend
- 1 packet (approx. 60 g) mango chilli sauce
- 1 cucumber, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated (about 70–80 g)
- 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
- 1 packet (approx. 150 g) shredded cabbage mix
- 1 packet (approx. 60 g) baby spinach leaves
- 1 packet (approx. 30 g) crushed peanuts
- 1 packet (approx. 60 g) smokey aioli
- 1–2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Grate the carrot, thinly slice the spring onion, and finely chop the cucumber. Set aside.
- Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add beef strips and Tex-Mex spice blend. Cook in batches for 1–2 minutes per batch until browned and cooked through. Remove pan from heat.
- Add the mango-chilli sauce to the hot pan and toss the beef strips to coat evenly in the glaze. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage mix, grated carrot, cucumber, spinach leaves, and spring onion. Add smokey aioli, white wine vinegar, a little olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Divide the cucumber slaw between serving bowls. Top with mango-chilli glazed beef and sprinkle with crushed peanuts.
Notes
- Use thin beef strips from rump or sirloin for quick cooking and tenderness.
- Cook beef in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure a good sear.
- Store dressing separately if making slaw ahead of time to prevent sogginess.
- Sweet chilli sauce with mango chutney can replace mango-chilli sauce.
- Add rice or flatbread to make it a more filling meal.
