Method

  1. 1

    Toss the beef with the cornflour and chinese rice wine and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

    Heat half the groundnut oil in a wok until very hot and stir-fry the beef for 2 minutes until just browned, then lift out.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining oil with the dried red chilli, crumbled, and garlic and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the celery and carrot and stir-fry for 3 minutes, until starting to soften but still crisp.

    Return the beef to the wok with the light soy sauce, and toss everything together for 2 minutes, until the beef is cooked through with no pink remaining.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with steamed rice.
