It took just one trial of this chilli beef stir fry last Sunday for lunch for it to receive that acclaimed pass mark and thumbs up from my other half.

The nodding head and the “mmmmm”, sealing this recipe to be immortalised for ever more into the collection.

There was just one comment. Not enough chilli!

I’d only used half of the whole chilli as I’d thought it might be too hot for her. So right back into the recipe the rest of the chilli went!

You can get kaffir lime leaves from your local Asian food store. They usually come frozen in bags, so its easy to store in your freezer and take out individual ones for stir fries / curries, like this when you need them.
