Ingredients

long-stemmed broccoli 200g, cut into 4cm pieces
medium egg noodles 3 nests (190g)
sirloin steaks 2, fat trimmed, oiled and well seasoned
spring onions 6, chopped, plus extra to serve
ginger a thumb-sized piece, grated
groundnut oil for frying
crunchy peanut butter 3 tbsp
coconut milk 200ml
soy sauce 2 tbsp
toasted sesame oil 1 tsp
sriracha or other Asian chilli sauce 1-2 tbsp, depending on how hot you like it
red chill 1, finely chopped

Method

Step 1

Cook the broccoli in a pan of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Scoop out with a slotted spoon then add the noodles to the same water and simmer until just-cooked. Drain.
Step 2

Heat a heavy-based frying pan to very hot then sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side. Rest under foil while you finish the sauce.
Step 3

Put the spring onions, ginger and 1 tbsp of oil in a wok, and cook until softened. Add the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha and enough water to make it saucy, then stir until smooth and bubbling.
Step 4

Tip in the noodles and toss, then slice the steak and add that plus any resting juices along with the broccoli. Keep tossing until everything is heated through. Sprinkle with red chilli and more spring onions, if you like.
