Sweet, tangy and with a little spice this recipe ticks all the boxes. Usually garnished with Spring onion but as I had none I added peppers and onion. Slicing the beef into strips meant I could use 1 rump steak for 2 people so it's very economical too and quick to cook...always a bonus. Im sure this will become a firm favourite in your family as the sweetness counteracts the spice making it not too spicy for the children but feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your families needs,e.g.,less spicy or sweet or even substitute beef steak for mince or chicken as it's an all rounder recipe that works well with most meats.This feeds 2 but its very easy to adjust the amounts to feed 4 or more.The step by step photo guide allows you to follow the recipe easily.

60 ml LOW Sodium Soy Sauce(not light)

60 ml Water

2 tbsp Oil

Prep: Gather your ingredients.
Slice the steak thinly
Pat dry with a paper towel
Slice the onion and peppers
Chop / grate the garlic

Add the beef to a bowl along with the flour.

Mix it through till the steak is covered completely. Leave to sit for 5-6mns

Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan, add the onion and fry till soft (4-5mns)

Add the pepper and continue to fry for another 2-3mns then set aside.

Heat 1 tsp of oil on a med heat and add the garlic, stir for 2mns

Add the ginger,Soy sauce,sugar,chilli flakes and water to the pan and bring to the boil

Simmer for 3-4mns till the sauce reduces and thickens

Pour into a bowl and set aside. Taste and adjust the seasoning if need. Too tart-add some sugar, too sweet-add some soy sauce.

Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat on med/high then add the sliced steak.

Fry till browned but not cooked through (3-4mns)

Add the sauce back into the pan and simmer for a further 3-4mns or until the steak is cooked and the sauce is thick and glossy.

Add the onion and peppers back into the pan.

Stir through and cook for a further 2-3mns.
Adjust the seasoning if needed.

Serve hot with rice and a toasted wrap or pitta bread to soak up that lovely sauce.

Please use Low sodium and not light or original Soy sauce as it will be extremely salty. Light soy is actually saltier than original so its not good to use in this recipe.

Easy Swaps- rump steak for beef sizzler strips, mince or chicken.
Peppers for spring onion and broccoli
