Ginger Beef Stir Fry Recipe

Instructions

Heat the oil until shimmering hot in a wok or large high-sided frying pan (large Skillet). Add the ginger that's been cut into matchsticks and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.

Scoop out of the pan with a slotted spoon and leave to drain on some kitchen paper.

Carefully spoon out all but 1 tbsp of the oil (reserving the oil). Bring the temperature back to very hot again. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on the beef and and add half the beef to the wok. Fry, moving around a few times until browned (about 3-5 minutes). Spoon out with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl to rest. Add in another 1 tbsp of the oil if needed and cook the remaining beef in the same way, then place in the bowl too.

Add a little more oil if needed so you have around 2 tbsp of oil in the wok. Heat to a medium heat and add in the chopped onion. Fry for 2-3 minutes until just starting to soften.

Add in the minced ginger and garlic and fry for a further 30 seconds, then add in the broccoli, spring onions, and mangetout. Stir fry for one minute, then mix together the sauce ingredients and add to the wok.

Allow to bubble and thicken for one minute, then add the beef back in. Allow to heat through for a minute or two, then stir in the spinach and turn off the heat.

Serve with boiled rice or noodles. Top with the crispy ginger matchsticks and a sprinkling of chilli flakes.
