Beef Stir Fry with Citrus Pepper Sauce

A good piece of steak needs little to enhance it, but a touch of zingy citrus fruit and crushed green peppercorns make this a really delicious and quick stir fry supper.

Serves: 6
Prep time: 15mins
Cook time: 7-8mins

Ingredients:

• 800g sirloin or rump steak, trimmed
• Juice of 1 grapefruit
• 2tbsp green peppercorns, crushed
• 2-3tbsp olive oil
• 2 large onions, sliced
• 2 Satsumas, peeled and segmented
• 2 red peppers, deseeded and diced
• 5-6tbsp stock blended with 2tsp cornflour
• 2tbsp dry sherry
• Crushed salt
• 2tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley

Method:

1. Cut the beef into thin strips. Mix the grapefruit juice with the crushed peppercorns and 1tbsp oil, add the beef and mix lightly. Set aside until required.
2. In a wok or large frying pan heat a little oil and fry the onions until softening. Drain the meat (reserving the marinade) and fry quickly with the onions and peppers for only 2-3 minutes.
3. Mix together reserved marinade, stock, cornflour and sherry and stir into the meat along with the Satsuma segments.
4. Stir fry for only another minute or two until the sauce thickens. Add salt to taste and the parsley and serve immediately with mashed parsnips, sweet potatoes or butternut squash.
