Asian Recipes

Ingredients:

500g beef, cut into bite sizes
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp cornflour
2 tbsp water
oil for frying
1 can pineapple pieces
1 green capsicum, cut into cubes
1 red capsicum,cut into cubes
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 inch fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 spring onions,cut into 4cm length

Sauce:
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp cornflour
1/4 cup water


Methods:

Place the beef in a medium bowl with the soy sauce, sugar, cornflour and water. Mix and leave to marinade for 30 minutes.

Heat a little oil in a deep non-stick frying pan (or wok), and then add the pineapple pieces and  capsicums. Cook for 2 minutes on a med/high heat, then remove to a plate.

Heat a little more oil in the pan, then add the garlic and the finely chopped ginger and cook until fragrant.
Add the marinaded beef to the pan, stir and cook on a high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the beef is browned all over. Remove from the pan.

Combine all the sauce ingredients in the pan and bring to the boil. When the sauce boils it will thicken – at this point add the beef, pineapple, capsicums and also the spring onions to the pan.

Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until all the ingredients are coated in the sauce and the spring onions have started to wilt.

Serve with plain white rice.
