Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 1 tbsp Sunflower oil
- 400 g (1 lb) Steak, fat removed and cut into thin strips
- 300 g (11 oz) Broccoli, whole head or chopped
- 160 g (6 oz) Mange tout (snow peas)
- 250 g (9 oz) Dried egg noodles
Sauce
- 1 tbsp Ginger, crushed (fresh chopped or jarred)
- 4 Cloves Garlic, peeled and crushed
- 5 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 6 tbsp Dark soy sauce, reduced sodium
- 6 tbsp Honey
- 6 tbsp Tomato ketchup
To Serve
- 4 Spring onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
- Sesame seeds (amount to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: Stir all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Soak the Noodles: Place the dried egg noodles in a bowl. Pour boiling water from the kettle over them, cover with a plate, and leave to soak while you cook the stir fry to soften them evenly.
- Cook the Beef: Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Cook the Vegetables: Stir the noodles with a fork to separate them. Add the broccoli and mange tout to the pan with the beef, and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
- Add Noodles and Sauce: Drain the soaked noodles and add them to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together to coat evenly and heat through.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately topped with chopped spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
Notes
- Type of steak: Frying steaks like flank, sirloin, or rump work well. Choose thin strips or slice your own.
- Cutting steak: Slice against the grain for tender beef rather than chewy pieces.
- Vegetables: Use any fresh vegetables you have on hand; green veggies pair especially well with steak.
- Mange tout: Also called snow peas in the US, providing a crunchy texture.
- Spring onions: Known as scallions or green onions in the US.
- Saltiness: Use reduced sodium soy sauce if you prefer less salty flavors or reduce the quantity of soy sauce.
- To add extra nutty flavor and texture, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
