  • 6 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
  • 2 cinnamon sticks

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large pan and add the shallots, cook until soft but not coloured.
  • Remove from the pan, add a little more oil and cook the beef until lightly coloured (you may need to cook the beef in a few batches). Remove the cooked beef from the pan.

  • Serve sprinkled with the remaining peanuts, a wedge of lime and a generous sprinkling of baby herbs.
