Hot Sesame Beef

I didn't have broccoli in the house so I added other vegetables. 

I used Chinese chives, Chinese cabbage, carrots and onion.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 500 gr/ 1 lb 2 oz beef fillet,cut in to thin strips
• 1 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds

 Mix the beef strips with 1 tbsp of sesame seeds in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef stock, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cornflour and chili flakes.

Step Two

 Heat 1 tbsp of the sesame oil in a large preheated wok or frying pan. Stir-fry the beef strips for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step Four

 Return the beef to the wok and simmer until the juices thicken, stirring occasionally. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step Five

 Sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds. Garnish with fresh coriander.
