Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the lemongrass and lime elements, and pat the beef dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the beef. Steam over simmering water until just tender and vibrant, then dress while warm.

Stir in the palm sugar and the rest of the lemongrass and lime flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the cherry tomatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
