  The charged current Cabibbo-supressed associated $K \Xi$ production off the
nucleon induced by anti-neutrinos is studied at low and intermediate energies.
The non-resonant terms are obtained using a microscopical model based on the
SU(3) chiral Lagrangian. The basic parameters of the model are $f_\pi$, the
pion decay constant, Cabibbo's angle, the proton and neutron magnetic moments
and the axial vector coupling constants for the baryons octet, D and F, that
are obtained from the analysis of the semileptonic decays of neutron and
hyperons. In addition, we also consider $\Sigma^\ast(1385)$ resonance, which
can decay in $K \Xi$ final state when this channel is open. The studied
mechanism is the prime source of $\Xi$ production at anti-neutrino energies
around $2$ GeV and the calculated cross sections at these energies can be
measured at the current and future neutrino experiments.
