Ingredients

  • olive oil, for frying
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 5cm ginger, peeled and cut into fine matchsticks
  • 1 x 400g sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 5-6 long cavolo nero leaves, finely shredded
  • 2tsp light soy sauce

Method

Heat a little oil in a wok or wide frying pan. Add the garlic and ginger, along with a pinch of sea salt, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

Add the steak strips and continue to stir-fry for a further 3-4 minutes. Add the cavolo nero and cook for 1 minute more.

Add the soy sauce, honey and five-spice powder and stir-fry for another 2 minutes, until the honey caramelises and turns sticky.

Place on warmed plates and serve immediately with the cooked rice.
