Ingredients:
For the rice:
1 Tbsp coconut oil
2 Cups Jasmine rice
1 tsp salt
2 Cups water
1 Cup coconut milk
For the spicy beef:
400-500g steak sliced in thin strips against the grain

1 whole green onion sliced (green and white parts)
3 cloves garlic minced
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp fish sauce
1 Tbsp oyster sauce
1/4 Cup water

Method:
For the rice:
In a saucepan, heat on medium heat and add the rice.
Lightly toast for a few minutes till lightly brown, keeping a close eye on it
Add the water, coconut milk and salt and stir well
Cover the pot and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook the rice
Turn off the heat and rest 5 mins. Fluff with a fork and serve
For the spicy beef:
In a medium bowl add beef, water, cornstarch and soy sauce. Toss to coat. Marinade for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and sear the beef until just browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside
Add the red pepper and green onion to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the beef back to the pan along with the sauce. Cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Fold in the basil and cook until it’s just wilted. Serve immediately with coconut rice with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Chefs Tip:
Slicing the steak against the grain ensures that the steak slices will remain succulent and tender
