Asian pesto

2 cup firmly packed fresh coriander leaves

1 cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves

1 green onion, chopped coarsely

1 fresh long green chilli, chopped coarsely

1 clove garlic, crushed

3 teaspoon light soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

Method

1.Make asian pesto. Blend or process ingredients until well combined.

2.Sprinkle beef with pepper. Lightly spray a heated grill plate (or grill or barbecue) with oil; cook beef for 4 minutes each side, or until cooked as desired. Cover; rest for 5 minutes.

3.Meanwhile, cook noodles in a large saucepan of boiling water for about 2 minutes. Add buk choy; cook a further 2 minutes or until buk choy and noodles are tender; drain.
