Instructions
Marinate the beef and set aside for about 20 - 30 minutes while you get all the other ingredients ready and make yourself a cup of tea. Or coffee.
Heat the peanut oil in a roomy wok or frying pan on high heat.
Take the beef out of the marinade either just with your hand and squeezing it or by using a colander or slotted spoon. Reserve the marinade.
Toss the beef into the wok and sauté on high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the rice wine or sherry and cook for a further 30 seconds.
Now add the reserved marinade along with all the other ingredients
apart from the green spring onion slices
and stir thoroughly.
Cook for a further 3 minutes and turn the heat off. The beef should just be lightly cooked. At this stage, it will still be pink n the middle.
Drizzle the last bit of sesame oil all over and stir through, off the heat.
Sprinkle with the green spring onions and serve immediately.
