Ingredients
Serves 4- 1 red bell pepper (deseeded and sliced)
- 2 spring onions (scallions) (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch in USA)
- 2 tsp minced ginger
- 200 g (7 oz) broccoli ((approx. 1 large head) cut into small florets)
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 4 spring onions (scallions) (chopped into 2cm pieces)
- 90 ml (6 tbsp) fresh lime juice ((approx. the juice from 3 limes))
- 300 g (10.6 oz) sirloin steak (cut into thin strips (tip – freeze for 10 minutes so it’s easier to slice thinly))
- 400 g (14 oz) fresh (cooked) medium-size egg noodles (*see notes for using dried)
- 90 ml (6 tbsp) dark soy sauce
- 1 red chilli (finely chopped (use your favourite - I like to use a Fresno chilli for mild heat or 2 birds eye chillies for more heat))
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp finely chopped fresh chillies
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp caster sugar or superfine sugar
- 1 tbsp oil ((any neutral high-smoke-point oil - such as avocado, rapeseed or vegetable oil))
- 2 tbsp oil ((any neutral high-smoke-point oil - such as avocado, rapeseed or vegetable oil))

Steps
- Step 1
Place the steak strips in a bowl and add the cornflour, salt and pepper. Toss together until the beef strips are completely coated.
- Step 2
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. When the oil is hot, tip the beef in and fry until dark brown and crispy (about 5 minutes). Just move the beef around the wok a couple of times. Moving it too much will reduce the crispiness.
- Step 3
Using a slotted spoon, remove the beef from the pan and place in a bowl lined with kitchen roll to soak up excess fat.
- Step 4
Turn the heat down to medium and add another tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the broccoli and red pepper and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly cooked, but still crisp.
- Step 5
Now add in the garlic and ginger and fry for a further30 seconds, keeping everything moving in the wok constantly. Then turn off the heat and transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the beef.
- Step 6
To a bowl add the lime juice, the soy sauce, sugar and chopped chilli. Stir together.
- Step 7
Pour the sauce into the wok. Turn the heat up to high and let the sauce bubble for 2-3 minutes until reduced by about one-third.
- Step 8
Add the noodles to the wok and cook, tossing regularly with a set of tongs, until the noodles are heated through (about 2-3 minutes).
- Step 9
Add in the cooked beef, broccoli and peppers from earlier, plus the spring onions. Heat through for 2-3 minutes, moving the noodles around the pan to prevent them sticking.
- Step 10
Once everything is hot throughout, dish out into bowls and top with chilli flakes, chopped chillies and spring onions.
