Tips

  • Any cut of beef works, but top rump or top side is recommended.
  • A very small amount of bicarbonate soda is used to tenderize the beef without making it slimy or fishy.
  • Ensure the oil is as hot as possible when cooking the beef.
  • Use a fierce, high heat for the stir fry to cook off the soy sauce properly.
  • If you prefer more sauce, add water to the base and thicken with a potato starch slurry.
