Ingredients

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp dry sherry
2 tsp sesame oil
1 fat garlic clove crushed
1 tsp finely chopped fresh root ginger (or fresh ginger paste in a jar)
200g lean sirloin steak thinly sliced across the grain
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large carrot cut into matchsticks
100g mangetout halved lengthways
140g mushrooms sliced
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
Chinese noodles to serve

Method

Combine the soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a shallow dish. Place the steak slices in the mixture and allow them to marinate for about 20 minutes, or longer if possible.
Place a large, heavy-based frying pan or wok over the heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them, stirring constantly, for a few minutes until they turn golden. Transfer them to a plate.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok until it is hot. Add the steak along with its marinade and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the meat is lightly browned. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving the cooking juices behind.
Add the carrot matchsticks to the pan and stir fry them for a few minutes. Next, incorporate the mangetout and continue cooking for a further 2 minutes.
Place the steak back into the pan and add the sliced mushrooms, tossing everything together. Pour in the hoisin sauce and stir fry for a final minute. Scatter the toasted sesame seeds over the top and serve straight away.
