Thai Beef Salad

Do you want quick healthy meals? This Thai Beef Salad with Green Beans is an innovative, warm salad which can be whipped up in minutes.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Bring the water to the boil in a pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the green beans. Cook rapidly for about 10 minutes, or until the beans are just crisp. Be careful not to overcook them! They should still be bright green in color and retain a bit of 'snap'. Drain the beans and rinse under cold water to stop them cooking further. Keep aside.
2. Heat the oil in a pan or wok. Add the onions and fry them until they take on a brownish color. Keep stirring them at this point. You don't want them to burn, but the caramel brown onions are what help to give this dish flavor.
3. Add the slivered ginger and crushed garlic to the onions. Allow to cook for a minute.
4. Add the beef to the pan. Cook for a minute, allowing the pieces to brown slightly and then turn the mixture, allowing the other sides of the beef strips to brown. Add the soy sauce and the water gradually, so that the pan doesn't get dry, but don't make the mixture too wet. Stir until the meat is just cooked through, but slightly pink on the inside. (Cook another few minutes if you like your meat well done.)
5. Toss in the drained green beans and pecan nuts.
6. Adjust seasoning. Serve your Thai Beef Salad straight from the pan with rice.
