About the recipe
With juicy steak, crunchy greens and sticky soy, this beef stir-fry recipe is a real winner.
Ingredients
320g tenderstem broccoli
2 x 250g lean flank steak
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
250g medium free-range egg noodles
3 teaspoons sesame oil
1 red onion
2 cloves of garlic
6cm piece of fresh ginger
olive oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lime
1 fresh red chilli
Method
- Trim the broccoli, cutting any larger broccoli stems in half lengthways, then place in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Add a good pinch of sea salt and leave for 10 minutes, then drain and put to one side. Half-fill a pan with water and bring to the boil.
- Slice the steaks against the grain into finger-sized strips and season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Pound the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar, or bash with the base of a pan, until fine. Sprinkle over the steak so they stick to it and give it a lovely, fragrant flavour.
- Drop the noodles into the pan of boiling salted water and cook until just tender. Drain, then toss with 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and return to the pan. Cover to keep warm.
- Peel and finely slice the onion and garlic, then peel and finely chop the ginger.
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat, then add the onions, garlic and ginger. Fry for a couple of minutes, or until the onions have softened slightly.
- Add the seasoned pieces of steak and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the broccoli and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, toss in the pan until everything is well coated, then serve with the egg noodles.
- Cut the lime into wedges for squeezing over, and finely slice the chilli (deseed if you like), then sprinkle over the top.
