Turn the heat up to high. Add the broccoli to the pan and fry for 2 minutes. Add the beef stock and stir well. Add the mushrooms, red onion and bean sprouts, and an extra drizzle of olive oil if needed. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add the beef back into the pan and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper and cook for a further minute. Serve immediately as is or with cauli rice.
