- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 onions, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tsp ginger paste

Instructions
Heat the 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan, add the onions, garlic, ginger and carrot. Allow to cook whilst stirring until the onions are translucent.
Next add the beef mince, salt, pepper, chilli flakes and soy sauce. Cook until the beef is well browned and cooked through. Finally add the coriander and green onions. Squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir together.
