CRISPY SWEET CHILLI AND ORANGE GINGER BEEF

Gorgeous thin shards of crispy sirloin steak tossed in a fresh orange and ginger sweet chilli sauce, a wonderful fresh and healthy way to have your Chinese food with fresh honest flavours, they way most Chinese eat, without any of the fast food additives that are often found in takeaway foods.  Super quick and easy to make.


Ingredients
(serves 2-4)

8oz sirloin steak fat 
4 tbsp cornflour
1 pinch of salt and pepper
1ltr ground nut oil for frying

Sweet Chilli and Orange Ginger Sauce
2 tbsp sugar
100ml water
2 red chillies and seeds finely chopped
1" ginger grated
1 orange zest and juice

Place the oil in a deep pan and bring up to 180 degrees, meanwhile trim any fat off the sirloin, cut the steak in half length ways and then slice from the short end in to very thin shards. 

In a large bowl mix the cornflour with the salt and pepper then toss in the steak and coat evenly, dust off and leave to one side.

In a saucepan add all the sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer, reduce until you have a medium thick sweet chilli sauce.  Turn off the heat.

Deep fry your floured beef for approx 2 minutes and drain off on kitchen paper, toss the beef in the sweet chilli orange and ginger sauce and serve immediately, If I am having this as a side dish I serve as is otherwise I like to serve the beef on a crispy raw pepper and beanspout salad.
