    1 In a bowl, combine wine, cornflour, soy sauce and 2 tablespoons water. Add beef and stir to coat.

    2 In a large frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over high. Remove beef from marinade (reserving marinade) and fry, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until browned and just cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.

    3 Add remaining oil to pan. Add broccoli, beans, spring onions and ginger and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add ¼ cup water to pan and toss veges, letting water evaporate. Reduce heat to medium and add beef back to pan, along with remaining marinade and chilli. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to combine and cook out the cornflour.

    4 Serve beef and broccoli on couscous. Garnish with extra chilli.
