INSTRUCTIONS
- Dice onion, carrot, capsicum and mushrooms into bite size pieces.
- Cut broccoli into florets, chop shallots, and set aside.
- Season the beef strips with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over a medium to high heat and stir fry beef strips with the ginger and garlic until just browned.
- Add diced vegetables (except for the broccoli and shallots). Stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Add black bean sauce, soy sauce and broccoli florets.
- Stir well and simmer over a low to medium heat for another 2-3 minutes until beef is fully cooked through and vegetables are just tender. The broccoli should be bright green and not mushy.
- Sprinkle shallots over the top and serve.

- Serve with your choice of base. I used basmati rice (40g dry weight per serve).
- Add some crushed chilli if you like some spice, and top with cashews for extra crunch and healthy fats!
