Freeze the beef sirloin for 30 minutes. Slice into thin slices across the grain.
Heat the oil in a wok, add the ginger matchsticks, and fry until golden. Drain on kitchen paper.
Fry the beef with salt and pepper until browned, then set aside.
In the same wok, add more oil if needed, and cook the onion, minced ginger, and garlic. Add the broccoli, spring onions, and mangetout. Stir fry briefly.
Mix the sauce ingredients, add to the wok, and let thicken. Add the beef back in, heat through, then stir in the spinach and turn off the heat.
Serve topped with crispy ginger matchsticks and chilli flakes, alongside boiled rice.
