Chilli Jam Beef Stir Fry

Submitted by auntchelle

"This is fast becoming my favourite mid-week dish. It's just so simple. As a variation replace the beef with 6 chicken thigh fillets (into strips) and garnish with 1/4 cup chopped roasted unsalted peanuts, fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime. Reference: Donny Hay, The Instant Cook. Australian measurements used."

We really enjoyed this and it was so simple to make. I increased the paste by another half and added a few more veggies just to make it a bit more filling for Dave. Especially love the squeeze of lime over the top at the end, don't leave it out. Thanks Mischka.
