  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef (preferable chuck)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup finely chopped scallion
1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander or fresh mint leaves
soft lettuce leaves for lining the plates
lime wedges for garnish

Preparation

  1. In a large skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it stir-fry the beef for 1 minute, or just until it is no longer pink, and drain the beef in a sieve. In a bowl whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, the lime juice, the cayenne, the sugar, the soy sauce, and the garlic paste, add the beef, and stir it to combine it well with the dressing. Stir in the scallion and the coriander, divide the mixture between 2 plates, lined with the lettuce leaves, and garnish the salads with lime wedges.
