Fragrant Beef (for two, prepare 24 hours before)
2 Sirloin steaks (lean as possible)
4 tablespoons of Nam Pla (Fish Sauce)
1 tablespoon of Chinese Cooking wine (or Dry Sherry)
2 Cloves Garlic
2 teaspoons of Freshly grated Ginger.
1 heaped teaspoon of corn flour
Place your steaks in the freezer for 20-25 minutes, then remove and slice into paper thin strips at an oblique angle, cutting away from you. You should find this easy with a sharp knife. Remember to remove all fat.
Smash and finely chop the garlic, combining with the remaining ingredients to form a marinade for the beef.
Thoroughly mix the marinade through the beef, stirring at least four times over the 24 hours.
Four hours prior to cooking, remove the beef from the marinade, and drain on a wire rack while still refridgerated.
Once drained, heat groundnut oil (watch out for those with peanut allergies) until smoking, and flash fry for two minutes. Due to the thin slices you made, the beef will cook very quickly. Just avoid it sticking together in clumps
This can be served on it's own, as part of a variety of dishes, or in any lightly flavoured sauce, though be wary of adding salt, as the Nam Pla should have provided enough.
I like to steam baby sweetcorn, asparagus and other colorful veg in a bamboo steamer just before frying the beef, then serve on sticky rice.
