Ingredients

• 400 g rump steak
• 400 g broccoli
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 piece of ginger (about 2 cm)
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 3 tbsp soy sauce

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · wok · chopping board · knife

1. Cut the rump steak into very thin slices. Mix it with the soy sauce, grated ginger and finely chopped garlic and leave to marinate briefly.
2. Divide the broccoli into small florets. Blanch briefly in hot water, then refresh in cold water so it keeps its colour and some bite.
3. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan. Sear the marinated beef briefly over a high heat until it takes on colour.
4. Add the broccoli and toss everything together briefly. Let the flavours combine without the broccoli going soft.
5. Toast the sesame seeds briefly if you like. Sprinkle them over the dish at the end and season once more with a little soy sauce.
6. Serve the Asian beef and broccoli straight from the wok, while the meat is juicy and the broccoli still crisp.
