Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry (with fried rice)

Rump steak is sliced finely and marinated with soy, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger and sesame oil, then seared in batches in a smoking-hot wok so it stays tender rather than stewing. The broccoli is cooked separately in the same wok, which keeps its colour bright and its texture crisp, before everything is tossed back together and seasoned with white pepper. Alongside it is a quick fried rice built from cooked rice, scrambled egg, spring onions and mixed vegetables. Both parts can be made ahead and reheated, and the rice makes a generous amount that easily stretches to a second meal.
