Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 360 g (¾ lb) thin-cut sirloin steak, sliced
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 small egg
  • 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 4½ tbsp sunflower oil (divided)
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée (paste)
  • 1 red chilli, finely sliced
  • ⅛ tsp white pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp dark soy sauce

Instructions:

  1. Place the sliced beef in a bowl, add the egg, and mix well until coated.
  2. Add cornflour, salt, black pepper, and white pepper. Toss until the beef is evenly coated and sticky.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a large pan or wok over high heat.
  4. Fry the beef in two batches, cooking each for 5–6 minutes with minimal stirring until crispy and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Add the remaining oil to the pan and reduce heat to medium.
  6. Add the sliced onion and cook for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  7. Stir in chilli, ginger, and garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Add rice vinegar, soy sauce, tomato purée, sugar, ketchup, and sweet chilli sauce. Let the sauce bubble and thicken for a few minutes.
  9. Return the crispy beef to the pan and toss gently to coat in the sauce.
  10. Cook for 1–2 minutes until heated through, then serve immediately.
