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!

If you cannot get fresh green beans you can substitute with frozen green beans.
Allow frozen beans to thaw naturally first otherwise they might be a bit soggy though!

Neil, you have one hectic start! But, glad you and Lynn got to enjoy this bowl of deliciousness! I am curious about kaffir lime leaves - are they like curry leaves? If they re, I bet they are highly aromatic! Good luck training for the Great Scottish Run!

Hi Shashi, yes kaffir lime leaves are just like curry leaves in that respect, I love them. They last ages in your freezer and never seem to lose their aroma being frozen!
Start of another hectic day at the moment, planning to head up into the Scottish mountains for some hillwalking tomorrow so frantically packing all our gear at the moment. 🙂

Thank you so much Autumn! I would love to hear your thoughts if you do get a chance to make this stir fry. I love feedback. 🙂
Lots of training ahead for the Great Scottish Run, but it's totally worth it. 😀

Luke and myself are doing the Great Scottish Run too! Just registered this past weekend! I have't done more than 5 miles without having knee issues so I'm trying to train it back into shape! I also really enjoyed the weather the past few days (well ...before the weekend that is) lol! Hope the new job is going well! 🙂

That's fantastic that you guys are doing the Great Scottish Run as well! I so enjoyed the run last year, and the course. It's not often you get to run over the Kingston Bridge, with the motorway traffic removed, and to see such amazing views of Glasgow (weather permitting of course 😉 ).
New job going great so far Erin, thank you. 🙂 And yes wasn't summer great last week! Lol
