For a fantastic quick, easy and healthy one pan dinner, try this stir fried beef. We love to use sirloin as our stir fry cut of beef and always tenderise in a sauce or cornflour before cooking for at least 20 minutes. The result is beautiful, succulent, juicy meat. The sauce is quite a popular well known recipe, I can understand why as it is delicious. We have tailored the original recipe by adding ginger, broccoli and spinach to meet our tastes and to make this a no carb one pot dinner. Yum!

Ingredients

For the sauce

• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1½ tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry (or substitute with chicken or beef stock)
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tsp roughly crushed black pepper

For the stir fry

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• thumb size piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
• 1/2 head of broccoli, cut into florets
• good handful of spinach leaves

Method

1. Mix all of the sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk together, add the steak leave to marinade and tenderise for at least 20 minutes.
2. Add the chopped broccoli to a pan of boiling water and cook for 5 mins. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a wok or frying pan on a high heat until slightly smoking.
4. Add the beef (reserve the sauce in the bowl) and stir fry until brown on all sides, around 2 minutes. Remove from wok and transfer to a plate.
5. Add the chopped garlic, ginger and shallots to the wok and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
6. Return the steak including any juices from the plate and the reserved sauce in the bowl and bring to the boil.
7. Add the cooked broccoli and raw spinach and a splash of water if needed, simmer for around 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
