Sticky Sesame Beef Mince Stir-Fry With Brown Rice

Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 min or until it's tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving

Whilst the rice is cooking, deseed your peppers (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into large, bite-sized pieces

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the chopped pepper with a small pinch of salt and cook for 4-5 min or until softened slightly

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Once the peppers have softened, transfer them to a clean plate and reserve the pan

Return the reserved pan to a high heat

Once very hot, add your mince and cook for 4-5 min or until browned all over, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go

Once the beef has browned, add your cornflour, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), ginger paste and chopped garlic and cook for 1 min or until fragrant

Once fragrant, add your soy sauce and honey, then return the softened peppers to the pan and cook for 2-3 min or until sticky and the beef is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Once the beef is sticky, remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle over your toasted sesame seeds and give everything a good mix up – this is your sticky sesame beef mince stir-fry
