Beef Stir Fry - Asian Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Marinade
    2 teaspoons cornflour
    1 tablespoon mirin or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
    400 400 g porterhouse steaks or 400 g sirloin steaks, trimmed of fat and thinly sliced
    Wok
    1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
    1 onion, chopped
    1 garlic clove, crushed
    1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
    200 200 g chinese broccoli or 200 g other asian greens (mix or match the greens)
    1 cup green beans (fresh or frozen)
    1/4 cup water
Preparation
    In a medium bowl add 'marinade ingredients' (cornflour, mirin or dry sherry, sesame oil and reduced sodium soy sauce) and mix well.
    Add the meat to the bowl and mix, making ensure all the slices are evenly coated. Set aside for 15 minutes so the beef could absorb the flavours.
    Heat wok or frypan, add oil, heat and add onion, garlic and ginger cook until soft but not browned.
    Add thinly sliced beef with the marinade and cook over a high heat for 3 minutes.
    Add the greens of your choice (example broccoli, Chinese broccoli, snow peas, bok choy or Asian greens) and beans.
    Add water to the wok and mix scrapping the sauce on the bottom of the wok.
    Cook until the vegetables are just tender but retain their vibrant green colour (approximately 4 minutes).
    Enjoy.
