Meats Recipes -  Ginger Beef with Peppers Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 3-4

  • 500 g/1 lb lean fillet steak, thinly sliced

  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 2.5 cm/1 inch piece of fresh root ginger, sliced

  • 2 teaspoons vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon corn flour

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • pinch of Chinese five-spice powder

  • 1 red pepper, cored, deseeded and cut into chunks

  • 1 green pepper, cored, deseeded and cut into chunks

  • slivers of fresh red chili, deseeded, to garnish

Method:

  1. Put the slices of fillet steak into a bowl and add the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, the sliced ginger, vinegar, water, salt and corn flour.

  2. Stir well to mix until the slices are thoroughly coated. Cover and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

  3. Heat the remaining sesame oil in a preheated wok or frying pan. Add the garlic and five-spice powder and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the marinated steak slices.

  4. Stir-fry quickly until the meat is browned on the outside yet still pink and tender on the inside. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  5. Add the red and green peppers to the wok and stir-fry briskly for 2-3 minutes, tossing them in the oil. Add the steak and any remaining marinade.

  6. Stir-fry for 1 minute until the meat is heated through. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve garnished with thin slivers of chili.
