Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt for the noodles. Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the peanuts. Trim and thinly slice the spring onions.
When your pan of water is boiling, add the noodles and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 4 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander. TIP: Run the noodles under cold water to stop them sticking together.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips to the pan and season with salt, pepper and the Thai style spice blend (add less if you don't like heat). Fry until browned, 1-2 mins, continuously stirring. TIP: Don't crowd the pan or your beef strips will stew instead of fry, it's best to cook it in batches. Once each batch is browned, transfer it to a plate lined with kitchen paper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The beef is safe to eat when the outside is browned.
Wipe out the (now empty) pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and peppers and stir-fry until slightly softened, 3-4 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, a splash of water and the cooked noodles. Bring to a bubble, then turn the heat down to medium.
Add the cooked beef strips back into the pan with their resting juices. Stir-fry briefly until everything is combined and piping hot, then remove from the heat and stir through the coriander.
Divide the beef stir-fry between your bowls. Top with a sprinkle of peanuts and the sliced spring onion. Enjoy!
