Amber Fire Beef

Grandeeod

Some Chinese takeaway's/restaurant's do this dish, but not a lot. It's more Korean than Chinese. I have been making it at home and I just thought I'd share it because it's a really tasty dish that is very easy to make from scratch.

Ingredients for two people.

400g of finely slivered round steak. Your butcher will do this for you and some supermarkets sell it prepacked under the guise of Stir Fry beef. I prefer the butchers. Make sure any fat is cut off.

A small bottle of dark soy sauce.

A tablespoon of sesame oil.

Sesame seeds.

Garlic powder.

Chilli flakes.

One large onion cut into banana shaped slices.

One red pepper cut into strips.

Finely sliced carrott. (optional)

The Method.

1. Pour the bottle of soy sauce into a mixing bowl that has a lid.

2. Add a tablespoon of sesame oil and mix the liquid.

3. Add a tablespoon of garlic powder and continue mixing.

4. Add a tablespoon of sesame seeds and a tablespoon of chilli flakes and mix.

5. Add your beef to this mixture and mix by hand to ensure that all the beef is fully coated by the mixture. Seal the bowl and place in the fridge. For best results, 24 hours, but a few hours will do.

The Wok.

1. As is usual heat the Wok to a high heat and then add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.

2. Add the beef and liquid and cook on a high heat for 5 minutes constantly working the beef around the wok.

3. Add the onion and pepper and option carrott and cook on high heat for two minutes constantly stirring.

It's ready.

I usually have it with fried rice or noodles. The beef should be spicy and tender and the veg should have some crunch.
