• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 tbsp sesame seeds

5. 5Add the broccoli and capsicum to the same pan with a tablespoon of water.
6. 6Cover the pan with a lid for 2 minutes to steam the vegetables until tender-crisp.

8. 8Return the beef and any resting juices back to the pan.
9. 9Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients and toss well.
