Sesame Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry

While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the brown onion. Cut the broccoli into small florets, then roughly chop the stalk. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion, broccoli and carrot and cook until tender, 6-7 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a medium bowl. In a small bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, water (for the sauce) and soy sauce. Set aside.

Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the beef strips, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Reduce the heat to low, then add the remaining garlic and season with pepper. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.

Reduce the heat of the frying pan to medium, then return the beef strips and veggies to the pan. Pour in the teriyaki sauce mixture and 1/2 the toasted sesame seeds. Stir until everything is well coated and warmed through, 1 minute. Season to taste.
