Ingredients

• 300 g sliced beef
• 400 g green beans
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 piece of ginger (about 2 cm)
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 3 tbsp soy sauce

Method

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

1. Wash the green beans, trim the ends and cut into pieces. Blanch briefly and refresh in cold water so they keep their colour and bite.
2. Peel the garlic and ginger and grate or chop finely. Mix with the soy sauce and sesame oil into a spicy sauce.
3. Pat the sliced beef dry and sear it in a very hot frying pan or wok until it takes on colour. Then take it out of the pan briefly.
4. Fry the green beans in the hot pan until lightly charred. Return the beef and toss everything briefly.
5. Pour the sauce into the pan and toss until the meat and beans are glossy and coated.
6. Serve with toasted sesame seeds.
