If you’re having rice with this dish, make sure you get that started first!
Heat the wok, drizzle with a little oil and stir-fry the beef in two batches.
Reheat wok, add 1 tbsp oil, 2 tsp each grated ginger and chopped lemongrass, and spring onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
Add red capsicum, and red chilli if you choose. Stir-fry for 1 minute more.
