Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    In a shallow dish, mix together the cornflour and light soy sauce, then add the beef and turn to coat evenly.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate small bowl, stir together the oyster sauce, sugar and 3 tbsp water.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the neutral oil in a wok or large pan over a high heat. Once the oil is very hot, add the beef and stir-fry for 1 min until browned but not completely cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Add the onion and garlic to the pan, with a little extra oil if needed, and stir-fry for 30–60 secs. Tip in the chestnut mushrooms and cook for 1 min, then add the green pepper and stir-fry for 1–2 mins.

  5. Step 5

    Stir through the Woolf’s Kitchen Sticky Chilli Oil, then pour over the oyster sauce mixture.

  6. Step 6

    Return the beef and any resting juices to the pan. Stir-fry for 1–2 mins until the beef is just cooked through, the mushrooms are tender and everything is glossy and well coated, adding a splash of water if needed.

  7. Step 7

    Divide between bowls and serve with cooked rice, scattered with coriander leaves and sliced red chilli, if you like.
