• Slice the beef into 5mm thick and 5cm long strips. If you cut the beef at a slight horizontal angle (rather than straight down), you can make the strips wider.

Marinade

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Add the beef and stir until fully coated. Set aside.

Sauce

• In a small bowl, mix the cornflour and soy sauce until there are no lumps. Mix in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.

Stir-fry

• Bring water to the boil in a medium pot. Add the noodles and set the timer for 3 minutes (or one minute less than packet instructions). Drain the noodles once cooked and run under cold water. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or frying pan on high and add the oil. Add the onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds before adding the beef. Cook stirring for 2-3 minutes. The meat should be browning, but not cooked through.
• Add the broccoli and stir-fry for a further 60 seconds then add the capsicum and sauce. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli and meat are just tender. Add the noodles, stir to coat with the sauce and to heat through.

  Serve with optional toppings if desired.
