Chilli beef and pepper stir fry

Ingredients

• 400g fillet steak, sliced
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 3 tbsp groundnut oil
• 5 cm ginger, peeled and grated

• 1-2 American cups red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, sliced
• 2 red peppers, cut into chunks
• 2 tsp dark soy sauce
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hot vegetable stock
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Method

1. Toss the beef slices in the cornflour and set aside.

2. Heat a wok over high heat and add the groundnut oil until it's smoking. Add the garlic, ginger and red chili and stir quickly for a few seconds so they do not burn. Now add the beef slices and stir-fry until browned. Transfer the contents of the wok to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of groundnut oil in a wok, add the red pepper and a little freshly ground black pepper and stir-fry over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened.

4. Return the beef to the wok and stir to mix with the red peppers. Finally pour in both soy sauces, the sesame oil and vegetable stock and heat until bubbling. Serve.
