Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the drizzle sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the sweet chilli sauce and lime juice until smooth. Set aside for serving.

Make the stir-fry sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the fish sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce. Stir well and keep near the stove.

Toast the cashews: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the cashews and toast for about 2 minutes, shaking the pan often, until fragrant. Transfer to a board and roughly chop once cool.

Cook the aromatics and beef: Heat the canola oil in the same pan over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir-fry for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no pink remains.

Caramelize the beef: Pour in the stir-fry sauce and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the liquid reduces and coats the beef in a sticky, glossy glaze.
