1
Done

Make the Udon Noodles, or use good quality ready-made frozen or dried udon noodles. |

Cut the rump steak very thinly into 5-cm (2-inch) long slices (freezing the steak for 30 minutes beforehand will help). Transfer to a bowl and mix well with the soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic and black pepper until thoroughly combined. Let it marinate for 30-60 minutes. |

Done

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the udon noodles to the pan and cook for about 10-12 minutes if using fresh, or follow the packet instructions for frozen or dry noodles. Keeping the water in the pan, fish out the noodles into a colander and refresh under fresh cold water to eliminate starchiness and stop them from cooking. Let them drain. Add the broccoli to the pan and cook for 1 minute, then remove from the pan and drain. |

Meanwhile, add the sunflower oil to a large wok and heat it through on the highest heat until smoking hot. Add the beef, its marinade and the onion to the wok and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and cavolo nero and cook for a further 30 seconds. |

Next, add the cooked noodles to the wok, stirring them together with the other ingredients for a couple of minutes until just heated through. Finally, stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture, add a generous pinch of chilli (dried red pepper) flakes, mix well and turn off the heat. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of toasted white sesame seeds, if using. |
