Week 2 - Friday
Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry
with peppers and rice
Tender strips of beef, crisp broccoli and peppers in a glossy garlic and ginger sauce, served with rice for a fast Friday dinner.
Method
Rinse the basmati rice and cook it in the rice cooker with the correct amount of water, or cook it in a saucepan according to the packet instructions.
Mix the soy sauce, honey, cornflour and water in a small bowl.
Heat half the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Stir-fry the beef in two batches for 1-2 minutes each until browned, then transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry the broccoli and red pepper for 4-5 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed to help the broccoli steam.
Add the garlic, ginger and most of the spring onions and cook for 30 seconds.
Return the beef to the pan, pour in the sauce and toss for 1-2 minutes until glossy and hot. Stir in the sesame oil if using.
Serve immediately with the rice and scatter over the remaining spring onions.
