Beef and pineapple stir fry
A quick stir fry dish made from marinated beef, pineapple chunks and pickled ginger.
Ingredients
- 3 rings Tinned Pineapple chopped into chunks
- 2 pieces minute steaks (about 200g) cut into thin strips
- 1 red chilli deseeded and chopped into chunks
- 2 cloves garlic sliced
- 1 green pepper deseeded and cut into chunks
- 20 g sushi ginger / pickled ginger drained
Beef Marinade
- 2 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Sauce
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp ketchup
- 1 tsp cornflour
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Cut the beef in strips (remember to cut AGAINST the grain!), marinade with the beef marinade ingredients for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile chop all your ingredients.
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a little bowl.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a hot wok. It needs to be hot before you put anything in there!
- Put in the beef (single layered) and cook till it's about 80% done. If your wok is hot this should be quite quick.
- Rest the beef in a bowl, wipe clean the wok and put a bit of oil to heat up again.
- When the wok is hot, put in the garlic and red chilli and fry for about 30 sec. Put in the green pepper, let it blister in the heat for a bit. You want the pepper still crunchy and not be soft!
- Once the pepper skin begin to blister, add pineapple and cook for another minute or so.
- Add the beef back in the wok, pour in the sauce mixture and mix it all together.
- Add the pickled sugar and mix again.
- Add a sprinkle of salt if you like, but taste, taste, taste. You can put a bit more salt or sugar at this stage if you like.
- Dish up!
