1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp dry sherry 2 tsp sesame oil 1 fat garlic clove , crushed 1 tsp finely chopped fresh root ginger (or fresh ginger paste in a jar) 200g lean sirloin steaks , thinly sliced across the grain 1 tbsp sesame seeds 1 tbsp sunflower oil 1 large carrot , cut into matchsticks 100g mangetout/asparagus , halved lengthways 140g mushrooms , sliced 3 tbsp hoisin sauce Chinese noodles , to serve

Method*
Mix together the soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a shallow dish. Add the steak and leave to marinate for about 20 minutes (or longer, if you have time). Heat a large heavy-based frying pan or wok, add the sesame seeds and toast over a high heat, stirring, for a few minutes until golden. Tip on to a plate. When ready to cook, heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok until hot. Add the steak with the marinade and stir fry for 3-4 minutes over a high heat until lightly browned. Remove, using a slotted spoon, on to a plate, leaving the juices in the pan. Toss the carrots in the pan and stir fry for a few minutes, then add the mangetout and cook for a further 2 minutes. Return the steak to the pan, add the mushrooms and toss everything together. Add the hoisin sauce and stir fry for a final minute. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
