Rump Steak Stir Fry with Veggies and Rice

Rump steak is a lean, flavourful cut from the hindquarter of the cow, perfect for quick, high-heat cooking methods like stir-frying. This meal is vibrant, fast to prepare, and balanced with fresh vegetables. Serve it with steamed jasmine rice or noodles to soak up the savoury sauce, or enjoy it on its own for a lighter option.

Ingredients:

• 300g rump steak, thinly sliced against the grain

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 small broccoli head, cut into florets

• 1 medium carrot, julienned

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated

• 3 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp oyster sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame oil (plus extra for cooking)

• 1 tsp honey or brown sugar

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

• 1 tsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

• 2 spring onions, sliced

• Cooked jasmine rice or noodles, to serve

Instructions:

1. Prep the steak and veggies: Thinly slice the rump steak across the grain to keep it tender. Slice the bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and break the broccoli into small florets. Mince garlic and grate ginger.

2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, and the cornflour slurry (if using).

3. Cook the sides:

   • Rice: Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice until the water runs clear. Add 1.5 cups of water, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15 mins until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

   • Noodles (alternative): Boil according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.

4. Stir-fry the steak: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add steak strips in batches so they don’t steam, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side until just browned but still tender. Remove and set aside.

5. Cook the veggies: Add a little more oil if needed. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add carrot and broccoli, stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add bell pepper last, cooking for 1-2 more minutes until crisp-tender.

6. Combine & finish: Return the steak to the wok. Pour in the sauce and stir fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients. Stir in spring onions.

Seasoning & Serving:

Adjust seasoning with a little extra soy sauce or a pinch of black pepper if needed. Serve immediately over steaming jasmine rice or toss with cooked noodles. Garnish with extra spring onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for crunch.
