    1 Combine beef, lemongrass paste and garlic in a medium-sized bowl. Place a large frying pan over a high heat or heat a barbecue grill until hot. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the oil and half the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until browned. Remove from pan and keep warm. Repeat with remaining beef. Return all beef to pan, add tomatoes and heat through.

    2  To make dressing, combine lime juice, remaining oil, fish sauce, sugar and chilli in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves. Combine pawpaw, coriander, mint and spring onions in a large bowl then toss through dressing. Serve salad with beef and basmati rice.

    Variations

    • If you can’t find green pawpaw, use grated carrot or courgette, or a mix of the two.
    • Make it gluten free: Check fish sauce is gluten free.
