This ‘Lemongrass and Chilli Beef Stirfry’ is one of my favourite ‘go to’ recipes as it is a wonderfully easy and quick dinner to cook. It is packed full of fresh Lemongrass flavour with the subtle kick of Chilies.
I use http://www.lidl.ie/en/index.htm Flank Steak and it works a treat. Delicious as served here with Rice Noodles or just plain boiled Basmati Rice, I like to use Wholegrain Rice.
