Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the aromatics

    Peel and finely slice the garlic clove, and grate or mince the 5 g of ginger. Set them aside together in the small bowl.

  2. Cut the beef and broccoli

    Cut the 270 g of steak into thin strips and break the 330 g of broccoli into small florets. Season the meat with the pinch of pepper.

    Tip · Cut the beef against the grain, that's what keeps it tender when it cooks.

  3. Cook the noodles

    Bring about 2 L of water to a boil in the large saucepan, then drop in the 130 g of rice noodles. Cook them according to the package, about 4 min, until tender.

  4. Drain the noodles

    Drain the noodles in the colander and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking. Set them aside.

  5. Sear the beef

    Heat the wok over high heat with half the sesame oil (0.25 tbsp). Sear the strips for 2 minutes, stirring, then move them to a plate.

    Tip · Sear the meat in a single layer and don't stir it too early, otherwise it releases its juices and boils instead of browning.

  6. Cook the broccoli

    In the same wok, add a splash of water and the broccoli. Cook over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring, until tender but still firm.

  7. Add the garlic and ginger

    Add the garlic and ginger to the broccoli, then sauté for 30 seconds, stirring, without letting them burn.

  8. Bring the stir-fry together

    Put the beef and noodles back in the wok with the 2 tbsp of soy sauce, the rest of the sesame oil and the salt. Toss for 2 minutes over high heat, until the beef is hot and cooked through.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
