Beef and broccoli noodles

Time for some asian influences.... Those who know me, know I absolutely adore asian food... 
Here goes an easy recipe, for those who want something quick, yet healthy and tasty! 



Beef and broccoli noodles

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 5 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 5 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 500g frying steak/beef sirloin (cut into strips)
  • 600g fresh noodles 
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or even sesame oil to give it some extra flavour 
  • 3 large garlic cloves, finely diced
  • 400g tenderstem broccoli
  • Freshly ground black pepper
1. Combine 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce, oyster sauce and rice wine in a medium bowl. Add the sugar and mix until completely dissolved. Add the sesame oil and beef, and mix well. Marinate for 20 minutes. Drain and discard the excess marinade.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles until 1 minute shy of being done, and drain.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a pan or wok over high heat, and stir-fry the garlic until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
4. Add the beef to the pan and stir-fry until tender, 3-4 minutes. Remove onto a plate and set aside.
5. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, and stir fry the tenderstem broccoli for 2 minutes. (You’re aiming for half cooked broccoli at this point)
6. Add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce and rice wine to the pan.
7. Add the noodles, and stir to ensure the noodles are coated with the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until most of liquid is absorbed.
8. Return the beef to the pan, mix with the noodles and broccoli.
9. Season with freshly ground black pepper (to taste), and serve.


Bon appetit!
