Ingredients

1 cup (200g) couscous

1 cup (250ml) boiling water

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

400 gram beef rump steak, sliced thinly

1 red onion (170g), cut into wedges

2 clove garlic, crushed

2 baby buk choy (300g), quartered

1 fresh long red chilli, sliced thinly

1/3 cup (80ml) beef stock

1/3 cup (80ml) oyster sauce

1/3 cup (80ml) light soy sauce

300 gram snow peas, sliced thinly

Method

1.Combine couscous with the boiling water in a medium heatproof bowl, cover; stand for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, fluffing with a fork occasionally.

2.Meanwhile, toast sesame seeds in a heated wok about 30 seconds; transfer to a small bowl.

3.Stir-fry beef in heated wok, over high heat, in batches, until browned; transfer to a small bowl.

4.Stir-fry onion in same heated wok for 1 minute. Add garlic, buk choy and chilli; stir-fry 1 minute. Add stock, sauces and beef; stir-fry until hot. Remove from heat; stir in peas.

5.Top couscous with stir-fry; serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Swap beef with chicken, pork or lamb. Stir-fries are best made just before serving. Partially freeze the steak before cutting; this makes it easier to slice thinly.
