Preparation
- Cut the sirloin steaks into thin strips.
- In a bowl, combine the beef strips with the egg, ensuring they are well coated.
- Add cornflour, salt, black pepper, and white pepper, mixing until the beef is evenly coated.
Cooking
- Heat 3 tbsp of sunflower oil in a wok over high heat.
- Test the oil's readiness by placing a wooden spoon in it; if bubbles form, it's ready.
- Fry the beef in two batches, ensuring each strip is spread out.
- Cook until dark brown and crispy, about 5-6 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the beef and drain on paper towels.
- Add 1/2 tbsp oil to the wok, reduce heat to medium, and sauté the onion for 2 mins.
- Add the chilli, ginger, and garlic, cooking for 30 seconds.
- Stir in rice vinegar, soy sauce, tomato purée, sugar, ketchup, and sweet chilli sauce.
- Increase heat and let the sauce bubble for a couple of minutes until slightly reduced.
- Return the beef to the wok, stirring to coat in the sauce, and heat through for 1-2 mins.
Plating & Serving
