Sweet Soy Beef Stir-Fry with Asian Greens and Sesame Rice

Steps

1. a full kettle to the boil.
2. Combine rice, water, sesame oil and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
3. Slice beef into 0.5cm-thick strips; mince garlic. Place beef and garlic in a medium bowl with all remaining beef stir-fry ingredients. Mix to combine and set aside to marinate.
4. Cut broccoli into small florets. Place in a heat-proof bowl with a pinch of salt and pour over boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for 5–6 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain.
5. Heat a dry, fry-pan or wok on medium-high heat. Toast both measures of sesame seeds until light brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from pan and set aside. Leave pan on heat; add a drizzle of oil and stir-fry beef for 1 minute, until just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
6. Slice both measures of spring onion (keep white and green part separate); quarter bok choy lengthwise; add white part of spring onion, bok choy, broccoli and water to pan and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes. Return beef to pan and stir-fry a further minute. Fluff up rice and stir through sesame seeds.
7. spoon ¾ cup cooked sesame rice per person onto each plate and top with sweet soy beef stir-fry. Scatter over green part of spring onions and garnish with remaining sesame seeds.
