Cooking Instructions

1 hr

1

Freeze steaks for half hour then finely chop them into thin strips and remove as much fat as possible.
2

Place the steak strips in a bowl and add an egg. Mix thoroughly then add the cornflour, salt, white and black pepper. Mix thoroughly again.
3

Get a pan (or two) on a high heat with a little oil. Fry the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side but don't be tempted to keep turning. This helps make them crispy.
4

You may need a couple of batches. Once the beef is cooked, place it in a kitchen paper lined bowl.
5

Turn heat to medium, add a little more oil and add the garlic, ginger and onion. Cook for 2 minutes then add red chilli and cook for another minute or so. Then add all sauce ingredients and allow to bubble and reduce for few minutes.
6

Add the beef back in, give it a stir and heat through for 1-2 minutes - until the beef is hot.
7

Serve with boiled rice, egg fried rice or noodles
