Ingredients

250 g boneless beef rump sliced into bite-sized pieces
4 tbsp cooking oil
1.5 tsp finely chopped root ginger
2 tsp finely chopped garlic
1 red pepper cut into bite-sized pieces similar to the beef
1 fresh, medium-hot, red Dutch chilli deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
2 – 4 tsp dried chilli flakes or to taste
2 spring onions (green part) finely sliced
1 tsp toasted sesame oil

For the marinade:

1 tsp rice wine (Shaoxing or sake)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp light soy sauce
3/4 tsp dark soy sauce
1.5 tsp potato flour
1.5 tsp water

Method

Stir the marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Add the beef and mix in well with the marinade.
Add three tablespoons of the oil to a wok set over a high heat and swirl the oil around to coat the wok. When it is starting to smoke, add the beef and stir-fry briskly, separating the pieces using a Chinese spatula. When the pieces are separated and still a little pink, remove them from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the wok, then add the ginger and garlic. Allow them to sizzle for a few seconds to release their fragrance. Tip in the red pepper and fresh chilli, if using, and stir-fry until hot.
Return the beef to the wok and give everything a good stir, then add the chilli flakes. When all is hot and fragrant, add the spring onions and remove from the heat. Stir in the sesame oil, check the seasoning and serve.

Notes

Variation: Stir-fried venison: Venison is a very healthy alternative to beef, as it is rich in iron, potassium and zinc and is very lean. Just replace the beef in the recipe above with 250g venison fillet, cut into strips, and add a splash of stock at the end to prevent the stir-fry from being too dry.
