Saucy Steak Strips

These saucy steak strips have the standard garlic soy flavouring but with some worcestershire sauce for added umaminess!

Ingredients:

3/4 lb inside round steak, cut in strips

2 tbsps vegetable oil (divided)

1/8 tsp baking soda (this will tenderize the steak)

1 tsp cornstarch

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 red pepper, cut in strips

Sauce:

4 tbsps water

1 tsp ketchup

1 tsp worcestershire sauce

2 tsps soya sauce

2 tsps oyster sauce

1/8 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp sesame oil

1/4-1/2 cup water

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp water

Mix beef with 1 tbsp vegetable oil, baking soda, cornstarch and salt and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Combine the 4 tbsps water, ketchup, worcestershire sauce, soya sauce, oyster sauce, pepper and sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.

Heat a wok or frying pan to high heat. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and when it begins to smoke sear the meat for 30-60 seconds. Remove to a plate. Sauté the red pepper strips until tender crisp then remove and add to the steak. On medium high heat pour the prepared sauce into the pan. Add 1/4-1/2 cup water and when simmering mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and whisk into the sauce. Return the steak and peppers to the pan stir to coat and warm through.

Serves 3-4
