Marinate the steak

  • Finely dice half the chilli (deseed for less heat), then thinly slice the rest and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chilli (to taste), tamari, oyster sauce and ginger & garlic paste. Stir well.
  • On a separate board, trim any visible fat from the steaks then lightly season. Slice the steaks as thinly as possible against the grain into strips.
  • Add the steak to the bowl, stir to coat and leave to marinate, stirring every so often.

Simmer the noodles

  • Cook the noodles in boiling water for 3-4 mins. Drain, then rinse.

Prep your veg

  • Meanwhile, thickly slice the mushrooms, and trim and halve the green beans. Peel the shallots and cut each into 6 wedges. Deseed the peppers and dice into 2cm squares.

Create a stir!

  • Spritz a large non-stick saucepan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Tip in the prepared veg and stir-fry for 5-6 mins.
  • Add the steak and marinade and cook for 4-5 mins, until the strips are just cooked through.
  • Crumble in the stock, pour in 100ml water (150ml for 4 portions) and stir well. Cook for 1 min, then remove from the heat.

Bring everything together

  • Pick the basil leaves and thinly slice. Stir the noodles and half the basil through the stir-fry.
  • To serve, top the stir-fry with the sliced chilli (to taste) and scatter over the remaining basil.
