Ingredients

Servings:
2
400g lean beef (sirloin or rump), sliced thin against the grain
300g broccoli, cut into florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
3 tbsp soy sauce (reduced sodium)
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp cornflour
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 spring onions, sliced

Method

1

Toss beef strips with cornflour and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Set aside 5 minutes — this tenderises the meat.

2

Mix remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

3

Heat wok or large pan over highest heat until smoking. Add oil.

4

Sear beef in a single layer for 60–90 seconds without stirring, then toss once and cook a further 30 seconds. Remove and set aside.

5

In the same pan, stir-fry broccoli with a splash of water for 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

6

Add garlic and ginger, cook 30 seconds. Return beef. Pour sauce over and toss everything together for 1 minute.

7

Top with spring onions and serve over cauliflower rice or with a small portion of brown rice.

💡 Chef's Tips

High heat is non-negotiable for stir-fry. A lukewarm pan steams the beef instead of searing it — you lose all the texture.
