Chinese Beef & Broccoli

Chop the broccoli into 2 cm florets and finely chop the stalk. Trim the ends of the snow peas. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). Finely grate the ginger. Peel and crush the garlic.In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and water (for the sauce) and set aside.

Place the wok or frying pan over a high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add 1/2 of the beef strips and stir fry for 1-2 minutes, or until browned. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef strips. TIP: Cooking the beef in batches over a high heat prevents the meat from stewing and keeps it tender.

Return the wok to a high heat and add another drizzle of olive oil. Add the broccoli and a dash of water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until almost tender. TIP: Adding water to the broccoli helps speed up the cooking process! Add the snow peas, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, or until tender and fragrant.

Add the sauce mixture and beef strips to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until warmed through.
