Method

  1. Mix together the soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a shallow dish. Add the steak and leave to marinate for about 20 minutes (or longer, if you have time).
  2. Heat a large heavy-based frying pan or wok, add the sesame seeds and toast over a high heat, stirring, for a few minutes until golden. Tip on to a plate.
  3. When ready to cook, heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok until hot. Add the steak with the marinade and stir fry for 3-4 minutes over a high heat until lightly browned. Remove, using a slotted spoon, on to a plate, leaving the juices in the pan.
  4. Toss the carrots in the pan and stir fry for a few minutes, then add the mangetout and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  5. Return the steak to the pan, add the mushrooms and toss everything together. Add the hoisin sauce and stir fry for a final minute. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.

    Fantastic quick & healthy supper. Really savoury & tastes much more exciting than you would think from the ingredients. Quite often don't have time to marinate so just let it marinate while I prepare the veggies & it is still delicious.

    I added beansprouts and used french beans as I had them in already. Also, loosened up the sauce by adding a bit of water as it was a little sticky and I prefer a bit more liquid. A very tasty dish and the beef was fab!
