1. Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan, then gently simmer until hot. Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Rub the five-spice all over the steak, then season with a little salt and pepper. Sear steak for 2-3 mins on each side until cooked to your liking, then leave to rest. Meanwhile, gently simmer or steam the bok or pak choi for 4-5 mins until wilted, but still crunchy. Toss the greens in a few tbsps of sauce and the sesame oil. Cut steak into thick slices. Serve on a plate with a small pot of sauce, the greens and some steamed rice.

  First time i have cooked bok choi really did enjoy it but felt that the sauce over the vegetables was just a bit too strong. Not sure if i would cook it again.,

  Yum yum! The richness of sauce went well with the steak. I added some beansprouts with the pak coi as they were in the fridge and needed using. Will be cooking again.

  This was so quick and suitably sophisticated for the weekend. We really enjoyed, it made a nice change and is a good way to enjoy steak without all the high calorie "trimmings".
