Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 400g fillet steak, thinly sliced
  • 60g cashew nuts
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 courgette grated
  • 1/2 red pepper sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 2 tablespoons soya, chilli, oyster sauce & rice wine vinegar.
  • 1 red chili, thinly sliced
  • 1 small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 bunch mangetout, shredded

Method

  1. Chop all your vegetables, slice the beef, and shred the mangetout. Toast the cashew nuts in the oven at 140°C for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat your wok to a high heat. Add sesame oil and flash fry the beef until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  3. Add more oil to the wok if needed, then toss in the diced onion, garlic, chili, grated ginger, and sliced baby corn. Pour boiling water over the broccoli in a bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, strain the broccoli.
  4. Add the broccoli, shredded mangetout, and your sauces to the wok. Stir in the cornflour and lime juice.
  5. Cover with a lid and cook for about 2 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
  6. Stir the cooked beef back into the wok, toss everything together, and cook for another minute.
  7. Serve the stir-fry over rice, and scatter sliced red chili and chopped coriander on top.
