Step 1
Slice the fillet of beef or your choice of steak into palm sized pieces.
Tenderise each piece with a meat tenderiser or use the back of a kitchen knife or cleaver. This will make your steak very tender to eat.
Step 2
Marinate beef with the soy sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, white pepper and corn flour. Cling film your bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
Place all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Step 4
Pan fry beef in a hot well seasoned wok (or large non stick pan) in a little oil for 20 seconds on each side and set aside.
Step 5
In a hot wok, add a tablespoon of oil and saute garlic and onion for a minute.
Step 6
Add the sauce mixture to the pan and cook for a minute.
Step 7
Add in the corn flour solution to thicken the sauce. You want a sauce that coats the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Return beef to the wok and lower the heat. Stir in the beef to ensure that each piece is evenly coated.
Step 9
Serve hot with some steamed rice and some green vegetables on the side.
