Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out a large lidded frying pan, a slow cooker (if using), a large saucepan, a measuring jug & a sieve
Time to fry
- Thinly slice the peppers and onion. Dissolve the cornflour in the jug with 300ml cold water
- Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the beef, onion and pepper, then cook for 3 mins, until browned. Season with salt and pepper
Slow cook the beef
- Add the hoisin, ginger & garlic paste, honey, tamari and cornflour mixture to the pan. Bring to the boil, then transfer to your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-5 hours
- If using the hob, pop a lid on the pan, lower the heat and simmer for 18-20 mins, until cooked through and tender
Time to noodle
- When the beef has 10 mins remaining, bring the large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Cut the broccoli into small florets
- Add the noodles and broccoli to the boiling water. Gently separate with a fork and boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
Last bits & plate up
- Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
- Add the noodles and broccoli to the beef. Toss to coat in the sauce and cook for 1-2 mins, until piping hot
- Share the noodles between bowls. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds
