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 cut into florets
- 160 g (6 oz) Mange tout
- 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 (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: Stir together the ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, and tomato ketchup in a small bowl. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Soak the Noodles: Place the dried egg noodles in a bowl and pour boiling water over them from the kettle. Cover with a plate and leave to soak while you prepare the stir-fry ingredients.
- Cook the Beef: Heat sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the broccoli and mangetout to the pan with the beef. Continue to stir-fry for another 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Drain Noodles and Combine: Drain the soaked noodles and add them to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients and toss well to coat everything evenly. Heat through until the sauce is bubbling and thickened slightly.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with sliced spring onions and optional sesame seeds for extra crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Type of steak: Any frying steak such as flank, sirloin, or rump works well. You can buy pre-cut strips or slice the steak yourself.
- Cut steak against the grain for tenderness; this breaks the muscle fibers and reduces chewiness.
- Vegetables: Feel free to substitute or add any vegetables you have on hand. Green vegetables pair nicely with steak. Mangetout is also known as snow peas in the US.
- Spring onions are called scallions or green onions in some regions.
- To control saltiness, use reduced sodium soy sauce or decrease the amount to taste.
