  • 250g beef steak or beef strips for stir-frying
  • 3tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3tbsp light soy sauce
  • 3 spring onions
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 2tsp Shaoxing wine
  • 2tsp ground cumin

  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1tsp sesame oil
  • 1tsp chilli flakes
  • 1/2 thumb ginger

The prep time above includes some marinating time- but if you are short on time, just marinate the beef for 5 minutes.

We just served this with some rice but similarly you can serve with noodles or as part of a tasting menu.

 

 

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

First, prepare the ingredients: cut the peppers into strips, thinly slice the spring onions, then peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger. If using a piece of steak, cut into strips. Set aside.

Step 2

Next, prepare the marinade: in a mixing bowl, mix together the light and dark soy sauce and Shaoxing wine. Add the beef strips to the marinade and mix well. Let marinade for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add half of the vegetable oil to a seasoned wok on high heat, then add the beef strips and cook for a few minutes- just to sear the outside. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.

Next, add the remaining vegetable oil to the wok, and add the chopped garlic and ginger. After a minute of stir frying on high heat, add the peppers, and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Step 5
