Prepare the beef by slicing it into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef strips for about 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the sesame oil. Sauté minced ginger, garlic, and sliced red chilli for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add hoisin sauce and soy sauce to the pan, stirring to combine with the aromatics. Return the beef to the pan and coat in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through.
For the salad, spiralize or thinly slice the cucumbers. Toss with rice vinegar, the juice of the lime, and a pinch of salt. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
Plate the beef and top with finely sliced spring onions, sesame seeds, and fresh coriander. Serve with the zesty cucumber salad alongside.
