Ingredients

• 300g Flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 300g Broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar (unsweetened)
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
• 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp Spring onions, sliced

Instructions

1. Prep: Thinly slice the beef, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger; whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and half the garlic in a small bowl.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat on the hob.
3. Add the broccoli florets and a splash of water; cover and steam for 3 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp, then remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Wipe the pan dry, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil, and sear the beef slices in a single layer until browned (about 2 minutes per side).
5. Add the remaining garlic to the beef and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and add the broccoli back into the pan, tossing everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
7. Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
