Beef and Broccoli

Step 1

Start by mixing together all of the sauce ingredients EXCEPT the cornflour (cornstarch) slurry in a bowl. Put to one side.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbsp of the oil over a high heat in wok or large frying pan.

Step 3

Add the sliced steak and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once or twice, until the steak is just cooked.

Step 4

Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon (leaving any oil behind in the wok).

Step 5

Add the broccoli to the wok and stir fry for 2 minutes, stirring often. Then transfer to the bowl with the steak. (see Tip 2 re: frying for longer if you like your broccoli softer).

Step 6

Turn the heat down to medium and add in the remaining tablespoon of oil.

Step 7

Add the ginger and garlic and fry, stirring often, for 30 seconds.

Step 8

Add in the sauce mixture, turn up the heat to high and stir together.

Step 9

Allow the sauce to come to the boil, then slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry, whilst stirring, until the sauce thickens. You may not need all of the slurry.

Step 10

Add the beef and broccoli back into the wok and toss together. Cook for a further minute, then turn off the heat.

Step 11

Serve with boiled or fried rice and topped with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
