This is one of my all-time favourite Chinese dishes: It’s wonderfully fragrant, and both the taste and the texture are terrific.

Method

Trim the beef and slice thinly. Heat a wok and add the oil. When it is just smoking, add about a quarter of the beef and stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Heat the oil again and repeat the process until all the beef is cooked. Drain all but 2 tablespoons
