This Vietnamese beef bowl with edamame is a fresh, colourful lunch you can throw together in a jiffy. Strongly seared beef chunks sit on a bed of cucumber, carrot ribbons and bean sprouts, finished with fresh mint, coriander and a light dressing of tamari and lime. A sprinkle of chopped peanuts gives just that nutty crunch.

In Phase 2, you can have a bit more carbs on your plate, and this bowl makes clever use of that. The lean beef and edamame together deliver a hefty dose of protein for muscle maintenance and satisfaction, whilst the edamame and veg provide fibre and a controlled amount of carbs. A well-balanced choice within a high-protein diet that still feels light.

Lovely with an extra lime wedge on the side or a few Thai basil leaves. If you fancy more, add a small portion of rice noodles.

Zo maak je het

  1. Fry the sirloin tip pieces in the sesame oil for 3 minutes over high heat until browned.
  2. Cook or steam the edamame for 3 minutes and drain.
  3. Divide the cucumber, carrot and bean sprouts between bowls.
  4. Place the beef and edamame on top.
  5. Mix the tamari with lime juice and drizzle over the bowl.
  6. Finish with mint, coriander and peanuts.

Bewaren

Keep the components separate in the fridge, for up to a day, and mix the dressing in just before eating so the vegetables stay crisp.

Variatietips

Replace the beef with sliced chicken or grilled prawns. A spoonful of toasted sesame seeds or some chopped red onion adds extra flavour.
