Total time: about 35 min (including 15 min marinating)

The beef marinates for fifteen to thirty minutes in lemon juice, salt, grated ginger, garlic and olive oil. The carrot sticks go into the pan for five minutes, then the beef joins them for three to five minutes over a high heat. Serve it straight from the pan.

Method

In a bowl, mix the beef with the salt and lemon juice, the ginger, the garlic and the olive oil.
Leave to marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
Peel the carrots, cut them into sticks and stir-fry them for 5 minutes in a hot pan.
Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes over a high heat, until nicely browned.
Serve straight away, with a squeeze of lime if you like.
