Sichuan Pepper Beef With Five A Day Vegetable With Five Spice Gravy

About the recipe

This makes for a fast, easy and delicious supper. I love rustling this one up because it's a real comfort dish for me. The Chinese five-spice powder is the key to this recipe as it flavours the gravy. This is a real balanced meal of protein and vegetables, and the method of cooking used is a "saucy" stir-fry, which makes it really healthy too as the vegetables are still kept al dente retaining their nutrients. Serve it with generous helpings of plain steamed jasmine rice to soak up the yummy gravy.

Steps

• Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and marinate the beef for as long as possible, overnight is best.
• Heat a wok over high heat and add the oil. Stir-fry the marinated beef for 2 minutes
• Add the red chilli and onion and stir fry for less than 1 minute the add the rest of the vegetables and stir fry for 1 minute.
• Add the stock (it needs to be hot) and mix well. Season with light soy sauce. Bring to the boil, add the blended cornflour and stir well.
• Add the spring onion, season to taste and serve with Jasmine rice.
