Spicy chilli beef and mushroom stir-fry recipe
This delicious beef stir fry has a sauce made from the reserved marinade of soy, lime, sesame oil and chilli. One the beef steak is marinated the stir fry is super quick to make. Ideal for a hungry family. Serve with noodles or rice if desired
Preparation
Step 1
Trim any fat from the steak and cut the meat into thin strips. In a shallow dish, mix together the soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil and chilli, add the steak and turn the strips over until they are well coated.
Step 2
Cover the dish with cling film and leave in the fridge to marinate for several hours or overnight.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil in a wok or large frying pan. Lift half the steak from the marinade and stir-fry over a high heat for 2 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Add the rest of the steak to the pan, reserving the marinade, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 5
Add the remaining oil to the pan and stir-fry the mushrooms for 2 minutes. Add the tenderstem broccoli, stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the pak choi and bean sprouts and stir-fry for a further 1 minute. Return the steak to the pan, pour over the reserved marinade and toss everything together over the heat for 2 minutes until piping hot. Serve at once.
Tip:
Toasted sesame oil is much stronger than ordinary sesame oil so, if using, only add a little to the dish or its favour will be too dominant and overpower the other ingredients. You can substitute a cheaper cut of steak suitable for frying if you prefer, although the end result won’t be as tender.
