Beef Chow Mein

I have been attempting to cook 'one new dish' each week and this one is a keeper! So versatile and delicious, it would be very easy to substitute ingredients here.


INGREDIENTS

500g sliced beef (my butcher sliced up the lean part of New York steak)
1/4 cup beef stock
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of sweetener of your choice (I used 1 tbsp coconut sugar, 1 tbsp brown rice malt syrup)
2-3 tbsp of olive oil
2 large carrots, sliced
2 cups of broccoli
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves (or 4 tsp minced garlic)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 x packet of Slendier Angel Hair Pasta

    • Thin Spaghetti; broken in half
    •  
    • Oil; for frying
    • 2
    • large Carrots
    • 1
    • large Onion
    • 4

    METHOD
    • In a small saucepan, boil the Slendier Angel Hair Pasta for 1min. Drain and dress with sesame oil, stand to one side.
    • In a small bowl mix stock, soy and sweetener of your choice
    • Heat oil in a pan, stirfry beef until just cooked. Add bowl of stock mixture, cook for 1 minute. Place to one side
    • Reheat pan, cook onions until golden. Place to one side (I normally just tip them on to the beef mixture).
    • Add some more oil to pan, stir fry carrot until soft, add garlic and broccoli and stirfry for approx. 3 minutes
    • Add beef and onion mixture back into the pan along with Slendier Angel Hair, stir until warmed through.
    • Serve immediately.
