Method

  1. Place the beef in a bowl with the soy, five-spice, rice wine, chilli and cornflour, and season with black pepper. Mix well so the beef is completely coated in the thick paste and leave to marinate for at least 10 mins but 30 mins is better.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok until very hot. Add the beef to the wok, but do not overcrowd the pan - the beef needs to be in a single layer. If necessary, cook the beef in batches. Fry the beef vigorously for about 3 mins until brown and crisp and scoop onto a plate.
  3. When all the beef is cooked give the wok a quick wipe out. Heat the remaining oil and stir fry the peppers and broccoli for a minute then pour over the stock and add the oyster sauce. Simmer everything together for 1 min then add the beef to the wok and boil briefly to thicken the sauce then serve straight away with rice or noodles.

    Cooked it all a bit longer than suggested so the broccoli was a little softer. Also added some coarsely cut onion. Really nice.

    We have had this twice now and it is one I will do again. I used less chicken stock this time around (just enough to thin down the oyster sauce a bit) as I found it a bit overpowering first time and it was much better -still plenty of sauce. Served with noodles

    Very nice - I marinated the meat for 20 minutes and it was so tasty. I threw in a couple of pak choi leaves right at the end too. Somehow managed to screw up my rice noodles though!

    Worked really well with leftover pork sliced thinly. Used sliced leeks and mushrooms instead of broccoli and peppers - yum!
