🧂 Ingredients

1 Rump Steak

230-250 grams
4 tbsp Cornflour
3 tbsp Oil
5 tbsp Sweet Chilli Sauce
2 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
0.5 tsp Chilli Flakes
100 ml Stock

Beef, Chicken or Vegetable (Stock cube is perfect)

Instructions

1 Sauce Time

Put all of the sauce ingredients into a small sauceoan and bring up to a boil,
then reduce to a gentle simmer.

By the time you have sorted the beef it will be thick and luscious. When it
coats the back of a wooden spoon you are in a very good place.
2 Now the Beef

Slice the beef into very thin strips. I cut a thin slice then cut that in half
length-ways to get ultra thin beef strips.

Now toss the strips of beef in the Cornflour and give it all a good squeeze to
make sure its well and truly adhered.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the beef strips until brown and crisp. (You
may need to do this in batches)

If you need you can keep warm in a 100°C oven or add back to the frying pan to
quickly warm up.
3 Combine & Enjoy

Now you have crispy beef and chilli sauce pour the chilli sauce over the beef
and toss to coat.

Serve with whatever you like, I love this with egg fried rice.
