Method

In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
Prepare the Tenderstem® broccoli. Cut the floret ends off the Tenderstem® broccoli spears and leave whole. Slice the remainder of the Tenderstem® broccoli spears thinly, on the diagonal.
Heat a wok or large frying pan until hot. Add 1 tablespoon groundnut oil, then the rump steak and stir-fry for 4 minutes, adding the chilli for the final minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Add the remaining tablespoon of groundnut oil to the pan. Add the prepared Tenderstem® broccoli and carrot, plus 2 tablespoons of water, and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and spring onions to the pan and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked steak to the pan along with the sauce, and stir-fry for another minute until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the stir-fry topped with coriander leaves on a bed of rice or noodles.
