CRISPY SWEET CHILI BEEF

This is so good make sure you make extra because once you have tasted the crispy sweet chili beef you won't want to stop, with my family serving this up was like feeding time at the zoo!  I was surprised how simple and quick this was to make and loved that this meal created that wonderful sharing dinner time.


INGREDIENTS
(serves 4)

2x 8oz (227g) sirloin steak
6 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp marmalade (optional)
1 orange zest and juice
1 ltr groundnut oil
2 spring onions finely sliced
1 carrot julienne
1/2 courgette julienne
8 pancakes 

First get your steamer up to a simmer ready to cook the pancakes when serving, next in a deep wok or pan gently start to bring the oil up to 180 degrees, meanwhile in a saucepan mix the soy, sweet chili, marmalade, orange zest and juice together, bring to a rapid simmer and reduce until thick and syrupy, leave in the pan to one side. 

 Next julienne slice the carrot, spring onion and courgette and place on a serving dish.  Now thinly slice the sirloin and toss in the cornflour, place on a plate ready to fry.

This is fast so have every thing ready to serve, steam the pancakes while you are deep frying the beef in the hot oil for approx 3 minutes for medium cooked, drain on paper and toss into the sweet sticky orange sauce, serve with the pancakes and julienne vegetables.
