Sweet & spicy beef stir-fry
Prep 20 min | Total 30 min
Ingredients:
- 454 g boneless top sirloin, sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp dark sesame oil
- 1 tsp hot-red-chili flakes
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cups mixed fresh vegetables such as broccoli florets, snow peas and sliced carrots
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup whole roasted cashews
Method:
Combine meat with hoisin, sesame oil and chili flakes in a medium bowl.
Heat an extra-large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add meat mixture. Cook, stirring often, until just a bit of pink remains, 3 to 4 min. Transfer to a bowl and reserve. Add oil to pan, then vegetables. Cook until tender-crisp, about 5 min. Stir cornstarch with beef broth in a small bowl until dissolved. Add broth mixture and meat to pan. Cook until sauce thickens and beef is cooked to desired doneness, about 2 more min. Stir in cashews. Serve over rice.
