Method

1. Cut the steak into strips, about 0.5 cm wide and tip into a mixing bowl.

2. Mix the crushed garlic with the five spice powder, soy sauce, wine and seasoning. Pour over the beef and set aside for 1-2 hours.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok, add the beef along with its marinade and stir fry over a high heat for 2-3 minutes, until just cooked.

4. Tip in the broccoli and mangetout and stir fry for another minute before adding the red chillies, soy sauce and rice wine. Stir briskly for another 30 seconds or so.

5. Pour in the hot water and bring the sauce to the boil.

6. Add the cornflour and water mixture to the pan while still over the heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until thickened.

7. Garnish with spring onions and serve the beef with steamed jasmine rice.

I tried this at the weekend, but found it very salty. It would probably be better with less dark soy or substituting some of it with light soy. Worth trying again with that in mind.
