Cooking Time: 15M

Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp peanut or sunflower oil

Directions:
- First, make the salsa. Put all the ingredients in a bowl, stir, and taste. Add a little freshly ground black pepper if you wish. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok over high heat until hot. Add the onion, and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until tender, then add the beef and chile strips. Continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes or so, keeping everything moving in the wok. Add the soy, lime juice, and honey, and continue stirring and tossing.
- Add the mushrooms, and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are tender and begin to release their juices.
- To serve, transfer the beef mixture to a platter and pile the cilantro on top. Serve with rice or noodles, and the grapefruit salsa on the side.
- To segment a grapefruit, cut a slice from each end, then cut away the peel and pith, following the shape of the fruit. Now cut away each segment, leaving behind the thin layer of membrane between them.
