Beef Teriyaki Stir Fry

Prep time: 20 min
Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ pounds thinly sliced lean beef (rump or sirloin)
• 3 cups mixed vegetables (red capsicum, green bean, broccoli, bok choi, carrot)
• Iodised salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon oil
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornflour
• Optional garnish: sliced shallots, sesame seeds

Method

1. Place the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey and sesame oil in a small pot over medium high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil.
2. Mix the cornflour with 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved. Add the cornflour mixture to the sauce and boil for 1-2 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Set sauce aside.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables have started to brown and soften.
4. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook, until water has evaporated. When your vegetables are crisp tender remove them from the pan and set aside.
5. Wipe out the pan. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the pan over high heat.
6. Place half of the steak in the pan and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
