Ingredients
500g thin-cut steak, very thinly sliced into strips
3 tbsp cornflour
2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
100ml oil (canola or peanut)
1 capsicum, thinly sliced
4 spring onions sliced, green and white parts separated
1 small broccoli head, florets sliced in half
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce - Jimoto
1 tbsp ginger, fresh or paste
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp cornflour, mixed with 1 tbsp water to make a slurry
Instructions
Put 500g thin-cut steak strips in a bowl and toss in 3 tbsp cornflour and 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder.
Heat 100ml of oil in a wok or large frying pan until hot, then add the beef in batches, making sure the pieces aren’t touching. Fry until crispy, about 3-4 mins each batch. Don’t be frightened to let these strips get really crispy BUT careful not to burn.
Scoop out the beef and drain on kitchen paper.
Clean the pan up and add 1 tbsp of oil. Add the sliced capsicum, sliced white ends of spring onions & sliced broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 3 mins to soften.
In a bowl mix the teriyaki sauce, honey, ginger and 1/4 cup water together.
Add to the veggies and stir to coat everything. Then push the veggies to one side and add the cornflour slurry, stir through the sauce until it is thick and sticky.
Throw the beef strips back into the pan and coat in the sauce. Serve immediately.
Serve over rice or noodles topped with the green ends of the spring onions & crispy chilli oil OR sliced fresh chilli
Hints & tips
Steak - Any type of lean steak would work in this dish, just make sure it is trimmed & thinly sliced. I used rump in the photos.
Veggies - Swap any veggies you like to stir fry for this dish.
Sauce - The sauce is enough to coat everything. If you prefer more sauce - double the recipe.
Serving suggestion - Serve over your favourite rice or with egg nooodles.
Portion size - Serves 2. The recipe will double easily.
Storage - This is best eaten straight away. The beef will loose a little crunch once stored. Store in the fridge for 3 days.
