Instructions

Make the Sauces: Mix all ingredients for the stir fry sauce in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix all ingredients for the drizzle sauce and set aside.
Toast the Cashews: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add cashews and toast for 2 minutes until golden. Let cool, then roughly chop.
Cook the Beef: In the same pan, heat oil over high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned.
Add Sauce: Pour in the stir fry sauce. Cook, stirring, until the liquid reduces and caramelizes on the beef (about 3–4 minutes).
Assemble Bowls: Serve the beef over jasmine rice with your choice of fresh or steamed vegetables. Spoon over the drizzle sauce, sprinkle with chopped cashews and cilantro. Optional: Add fresh chilli for heat.

Notes

Substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or tofu for variation.
Make the drizzle sauce ahead for even quicker assembly.
Customize with your favorite veggies like shredded carrot, cabbage, or snap peas.
For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice.
