Ingredients

  • 1 kg Beef steak Medium to good quality such as beef topside or sirloin
  • 50 ml soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 handful coriander - cilantro sprigs chopped and leaves set aside for garnish
  • 100 g bean sprouts
  • 2 carrots julienne (cut into thin strips)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger peeled and chopped fine
  • 1 fresh chile de-seeded and chopped fine
  • 10 ml water
  • 10 g corn flour (corn starch)
  • 2 green onions (spring onions) thinly sliced
  • 375 g jasmine or basmati rice

Instructions

  • Prepare the rice according to instructions. Make sure to use running water to remove the extra starch from the rice either before or after cooking the rice.
  • Strain the rice and then set aside until later (see below instructions)
  • Slice the beef into thin strips, place in a bowl, marinade with half of the soy sauce and a dash of sesame oil. Use your hands to make sure every slice of beef is coated with the soy sauce.
  • While the beef marinades, prepare the garlic, ginger, fresh coriander, bean sprouts and carrots.
  • Put a wok (or a frying pan if you don't have a wok) on the stove over a high heat. Add a 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and then add the beef strips. Make sure you hear the sizzle. Stir or toss the beef for about 1 minute.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, chopped coriander sprigs, chile, bean spouts and carrots. Stir about another minute.
  • Season with the other half of the soy sauce. Quickly stir the corn flour and water together then add this mixture to the stir fry. Transfer the stir fry to a bowl and set aside.
  • Put your wok back on the heat, add a dash of vegetable oil and start frying your green onions for about a minute. Add your rice to fry for another minute.
  • Serve the rice and the beef stir fry together and enjoy.

Notes

Remember, get all you ingredients prepared before frying and make sure your wok is very hot before frying.
