Ingredients

1tsp cornflour

1tsp soy sauce

1tsp sesame oil

½tsp black pepper

300g rump steak, fat trimmed, thinly sliced

1tsp vegetable oil

1 red onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, sliced

5cm fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks

1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced

1tsp cornflour

2tbsp oyster sauce

1tbsp soy sauce

2tbsp Shaoxing wine, or dry sherry

250g cooked brown rice

2 spring onions, green part only, shredded

1 green pepper, deseeded and sliced

Method

1
Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl. Add the steak, toss to mix; leave to marinate for 5 mins.
2
Heat a wok on high. When it starts to smoke, add ½ the oil, then ½ the steak. Fry, stirring quickly, for 1-2 mins to brown, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and steak.
3
After the second batch is done, cook the onion in the wok, on high, for 2 mins. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 1 min, with a little water to prevent sticking. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.
4
Mix the cornflour to a paste with 2tbsp water.
5
Add the oyster and soy sauces, Shaoxing wine (or sherry) and ½tsp black pepper; stir to combine. Return the beef to the wok, along with any juices. Add the cornflour paste and stir-fry for 1 min or until the sauce thickens and the beef is warmed through.
6
Divide the rice between warmed bowls, top with the stir-fry and scatter with the spring onions to serve.
