• 300g green beans
• 1 onion
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 pinch of black pepper
• 2 tbsp soy sauce

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · saucepan · chopping board · knife · sieve · wooden spoon

1. Trim fresh green beans and blanch briefly in salted water, then drain. You can use frozen green beans straight away.
2. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Fry the beef mince with the onion in hot sesame oil in a large frying pan over a high heat until crumbly and browned.
3. Add the garlic, green beans and black pepper. Keep frying over a medium heat until the beans are cooked but still slightly crisp.
4. Stir in the soy sauce and toss the pan well. Leave for a moment so the flavours come together.
5. Taste and add a little more black pepper if needed.
6. Serve the beef mince and green bean pan-fry hot.
