Instructions

Notes

  • The type of steak you use is up to you - sirloin, rump, ribeye or filet are all good options.
  • Traditionally, bok choy (2 needed) is used in this recipe but since the shops didn’t stock it I opted for mangetout. Check out other substitutes you can use.
  • In this recipe, I used shiitake mushrooms. Use whichever you can get hold of.
  • This recipe makes a large portion for 2 people. For those with smaller stomachs it can serve 3-4 people. Extra side dishes always help!
