  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 1.5 tsp Grated Fresh Ginger
  • 100 ml Hot Water

Instructions
 

  • Chill & Rice On – Put the Steak in the freezer to firm up. During this time take your head of Broccoli and grate until you have a pile of Broccoli Rice. 
  • Stir up that Sauce – In a bowl mix together the Cornflour, Soy Sauce, Honey, Sesame Oil, Rice Vinegar & Hot Water. Grate the Fresh Ginger and the 2 Cloves of Garlic into the sauce.
  • Slice – Slice the chilled Steak into thin strips and set aside. Warm two bowls so the dish stays warm
  • Ready, Sauté – Heat 1 tbsp Olive or Coconut Oil in a frying pan and add the Broccoli Rice stir and sauté for 2-3 minutes then divide into the bowls.
  • Beef Time – Turn up the heat to high and put another 1 tbsp oil into the frying pan, toss in the steak strips and quickly cook them 1 minute 30 each side, then pour over the sauce and reduce the heat slightly to medium. The sauce should thicken so keep stirring.
  • Beef meet Broccoli – Spoon the hot Beef and sticky sauce over the warm Broccoli Rice. Dig in and enjoy feeling virtuous.

Notes

LEFTOVERS TIP

Leftover Beef and Broccoli Rice can be used as a filling for Bao Buns. The soft bun with the sticky sauce yielding beef and earthy broccoli is a really great combination.  I doubt you will have leftovers though.
