beef with bok choy, mushrooms and noodles

method

Boil the kettle and soak the noodles in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, rub the beef with olive oil, sprinkle with the cumin and a pinch of salt and rub all over. Place in a really hot frying pan and sear on all sides. Add the onion, ginger and chilli and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the mushrooms, stock and bok choy. Drain the noodles and add them to the pan. Stir around, and correct the seasoning. Slice up the beef and serve the noodles and bok choy in a big bowl, with the beef slices on top. Pour over the broth from the pan.
