Method
- Place the broccoli florets in a steamer or metal colander and steam over a pan of simmering water for 4-5 mins until just tender. At the same time, cook the tagliatelle according to the packet instructions until just cooked.
- Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan until almost smoking. Add the spring onions and stir-fry for 1-2 mins then add the steak strips and sliced mushrooms and stir-fry, stirring continuously over a high heat until the steak is just browned.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the steamed broccoli and the parsley. Toss gently to mix together and season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
Lean steak is an excellent source of iron and is low in fat. If you can't find packs of ready-cut stir-fry strips then buy flash-fry steaks, trim off excess fat and cut into strips.
