Chilli Jam Beef Stir Fry Recipes

CHILLI JAM BEEF STIR FRY

Steps:

• Place first 6 ingredients into a food processor and process until finely chopped.
• Over medium-high, heat a non-stick frying pan then add the chilli paste. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until the mix is thick and fragrant. Depending on the water content of the ingredients this may take even longer.
• Now add the beef and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring the whole time. Add the scallions and beans. Cover. Cook for another 3 minutes, or until beef & vegetables are tender. Serve with steamed rice.

CRISPY CHILLI BEEF

Steps:

• Put 350g thin-cut minute steak strips in a bowl and toss in 3 tbsp cornflour and 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder.
• Heat 100ml vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan until hot, then add the beef and fry until golden and crisp.
• Scoop out the beef and drain on kitchen paper. Pour away all but 1 tbsp oil.
• Add 1 thinly sliced red pepper, ½ thinly sliced red chilli, sliced white ends of 4 spring onions, 2 crushed garlic cloves and thumb-sized piece ginger, cut into matchsticks, to the pan. Stir-fry for 3 mins to soften, but don't let the garlic and ginger burn.
• Mix the 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce and 2 tbsp tomato ketchup in a jug with 2 tbsp water, then pour over the veg.
• Bubble for 2 mins, then add the beef back to the pan and toss well to coat.
• Serve the beef on noodles with prawn crackers, if you like, scattered with the remaining ½ sliced red chilli and sliced green parts of the spring onions.
