Ingredients

• 450g/1lb brown basmati rice
• 1 tbsp groundnut oil
• 450g/1 lb frying steak, cut into 1cm/½in thick slices
• 1 tsp cornflour
• 60g/2¼oz cashew nuts
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets, stalk sliced into strips
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• ½ vegetable stock cube
• 1 small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
• freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the brown basmati, stir well then cook according to the packet instructions.
2. Heat a wok over a high heat until hot, add half the oil and when it’s just smoking, add the beef. Sprinkle with cornflour and stir-fry until browned all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Stir-fry the cashews until just golden-brown then set aside with the beef.
4. Carefully wipe the wok until clean using kitchen roll. Bring to a high heat and add the remaining oil. Once hot, add the red onion and fry for 1–2 minutes, or until just soft. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for a minute
5. Half fill the kettle and bring to the boil. Add the broccoli, soy and oyster sauce to the wok and mix well. Add the vegetable stock cube with 400ml/14fl oz boiling water and bring to the boil, stirring well. Cover with a lid (use kitchen foil if you don't have a suitable pan lid) and cook for 2 minutes or until the broccoli is just tender (you don’t want to lose the bright green colour).
6. Stir the cooked beef and cashews through the sauce and heat for a minute. Scatter over the coriander and serve immediately with the cooked, drained rice.
