  • 1 tbsp groundnut oil
  • 450g frying steak, sliced thinly
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 60g cashew nuts
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • Thumb-sized piece ginger, grated
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • ½ vegetable stock cube
  • 1 red chilli, thinly sliced
  • Small bunch coriander, chopped
  • 300g brown basmati rice

Optional swaps:
Use pork or chicken instead of beef. For a gluten-free version, check sauce and stock labels or use tamari.

Method

  1. Cook the rice in salted boiling water according to the packet instructions.
  2. Heat a wok over high heat. Add half the oil, then the beef. Sprinkle with cornflour and stir-fry until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Stir-fry the cashews until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Wipe the wok clean. Add the remaining oil, then fry the onion for 1–2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the broccoli, soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir in the stock cube and 250ml boiling water.
  6. Cover and cook for 2 minutes, until the broccoli is just tender and still bright green.
  7. Return the beef and cashews to the wok. Stir through and heat for 1 minute.
  8. Scatter over the chilli and coriander. Serve immediately with the drained rice.
