Lemongrass Beef … adulterated from Donna Hay

Time for some red meat don’t you think?! This is healthy and spicy and oh, so quick. Oh and has barely any calories. So add fried rice to make a meal….

You need for 2 chic fashionistas or for one bloke as an entree or 15 models:

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 lemongrass stalk finely chopped
2 to 3 clove garlic
400g beef mince
3 tablespoons lime juice (Add more if you need)
2 tablespoons caster sugar
3 teaspoons fish sauce
1 small red chilli, chopped
1 baby Cos lettuce (to serve it on)
½ bunch coriander leaves
lime wedges, to serve

• Climb out your new Chloe wedges.
• Slip into your Alexander Wang grey marle track pants.
• Pour a wine or two.
• Chop up the garlic as small as diamonds you can afford.
• Chop up the lemongrass as small as possible: think the size of ‘a’ in Prada.
• Chop up the chilli as small as the u in Gucci.
• Squeeze the limes. They love a hug too.
• Pour another wine.
• Grab the beef mince out of the fridge.
• Pour the oil into a frying pan and get it going high.
• Now toss in the lemongrass, garlic and beef and cook for 5-8 minutes or until browned as your new Hermes cuff.
• Break up any of the meaty lumps with a chic wooden spoon. This will not work on your legs. Sorry.
• Now pour in the lime juice, the sugar, fish sauce and chilli and then cook for another minute or so.
• Don’t over cook or it could go as rubbery as your Jimmy Choo /K mart gumboots.
• Now daintily scoop the mince into each lettuce leaf and accessorise with chic Prada green coriander leaves.
• Serve with cute lime wedges.
• Delicious.
• Tip: Get Mars Bar ice-cream out of fridge for dessert.
