Before you start

  • 2x large saucepans

Chop, chop!

  • Peel the onions and cut each into 8 wedges, then trim and halve the green beans. Trim the pak choi and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • On a separate board, trim any visible fat from the steaks, then cut into bite-size chunks.

Sizzle the onions & steak

  • Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Cook the onions and steak for 4-5 mins, turning occasionally, until browned all over.

Boost the flavour

  • Squeeze in both pastes, the lemongrass and fish sauce, and cook for 1 min.
  • Crumble in the stock and pour in 150ml water (200ml for 4 portions). Add the green beans and pak choi, then stir well and simmer for 6-8 mins, until the sauce has reduced.

Boil the rice

  • Meanwhile, cook the rice in boiling water for 10-12 mins, then drain.

Finish & serve

  • Remove the curry from the heat. Finely chop the coriander and add half to the curry along with the yogurt.
  • Serve the curry with the rice (to create a cheffy rice dome, press the rice into a small bowl first, then turn it out onto the plate) and scatter over the remaining coriander.
