Easy crispy chilli beef, bursting with Chinese flavours, so easy to make

Ingredients

  • 200 g Sirloin or Rump steak
  • 3 tablespoons Corn Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese 5 Spice
  • 80 ml Sunflower oil
  • Salt & Black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • Thumb size piece ginger grated
  • 4 mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 Yellow pepper seeds removed
  • 1/2 Red pepper seeds removed
  • 6 Spring onions chopped (green ends for garnish)
  • 1/2 red chilli finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sweet Chilli Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato Ketchup

Instructions

  • Slice your steak into very thin strips, approx 1/2cm in diameter, length doesn't matter
  • In a separate bowl, mix your cornflour, salt, pepper and 5 spice in a bowl
  • Pop the steak into the cornflour mix and coat the strips
  • Heat 100ml oil in a frying pan until hot, drop the beef in a fry until golden (looks a bit weird) this will take about 5 minutes or so
  • Cook your noodles or rice at this stage
  • Once the beef is golden - lift out and place on kitchen roll and pop on one side
  • Then tip oil out of frying pan and add 1 tsp oil backing the pan. Add the chopped garlic, ginger, chilli and fry for 2 mins, then add spring onions, peppers and mushrooms, fry for approx 2 mins until soft
  • Mix rice wine vinegar in bowl with soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, ketchup and approx. 1 tbsp water, stir
  • Tip this mix into frying pan and heat for 2 minutes, it should be bubbling.
  • Throw in the beef and heat for 1 minute
  • Finally Serve - put noodles or rice on plate and beef mix on top, finish with chopped spring onion
