450 g topside of beef, cut into matchstick strips
2 cups vegetable oil

2 dry red chilies, shredded
3 garlic cloves, crushed
6 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Chinese Crispy Beef Recipe – Method

For a stir fry you want a lot of heat so pack a full layer of briquettes onto the coal grid inside your PotjieKing™ and place a couple fire lighters in the bottom section and get that going. Once the briquettes have stopped smoking, place your wok onto the PotjieKing™ to heat up.

• Mix together the eggs, salt and cornflour and toss the beef in
  this until well coated.
• Heat the oil in a wok to 350 degrees F (180 degrees Celsius), or
  until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds.
• Stir−fry the beef for 1 1/2 minutes or until crispy. This will depend on how thin you cut your strips. You don’t want to throw it all in at once. Use a fork/spoon to place beef in the oil. Discard left over egg mixture.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Reheat the oil and deep−fry the carrots for 1 1/2 minutes.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 1 1/2 tablespoons in the
  bottom of the wok.
• Reheat, then add the spring onions, chilies and
  garlic. Stir−fry together for about 30 seconds over the heat then
  add the sugar, soy sauce and vinegar.
• Return the meat and carrots
  to the sauce. Toss over the heat and serve with rice or noodles.
