1 Heat the vegetable oil in a saute pan. Cut the beef into 1cm wide strips. Add to the pan and cook on a high heat for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned.

2 Add the onions and cook for a further few minutes. Roughly chop the tomatoes, add to the pan and cook for a further three minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften. Heat a small non-stick frying pan. Cover the rice noodles with boiling water.

3 Add the sesame seeds to the pan, cook for a minute, shaking the pan until golden and remove from the heat. Add the coconut milk and curry paste and boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until hot.

4 Drain the noodles and toss with the sesame seeds and oil. Divide between two bowls. Squeeze the lime juice, soy sauce and herbs into the curry and taste for seasoning. Spoon over the noodles and serve.
