Cooking Steps

Cook the garlic rice
1

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water (for the rice) and the salt, stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

Get prepped
2

While the rice is cooking, zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Thinly slice the red onion. Trim the green beans and cut in half. Thinly slice the carrot and courgette into batons. Finely grate the ginger.

Cook the veggies
3

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the onion, green beans, carrot and courgette until softened, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Make the sauce
4

While the veggies are cooking, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, water (for the sauce), the lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl.

Cook the beef
5

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the beef mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the Thai seven spice blend, ginger and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the oyster sauce mixture and cook until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Remove from the heat, then return the veggies to the pan and toss until combined.

Serve up
6

Divide the garlic rice between bowls and top with the Thai seven-spice beef and stir-fry veggies. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
