Honey-Soy Beef & Garlic Rice

• Meanwhile, trim and halve baby broccoli. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and the honey. Set aside. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook baby broccoli and carrot, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

• Crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a mortar and pestle or in their sachet using a rolling pin. • In a medium bowl, combine crushed peppercorns, Thai seven spice blend and the plain flour. Add beef strips and toss to coat. • Wipe out the frying pan, then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, pick up beef using tongs and shake off any excess flour back into bowl. Cook beef strips in batches, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add beef back to the pan along with honey-soy mixture. Stir until beef is coated and sticky.
