Ingredients

• 500 g Beef tenderloin ( cut into 2cm cubes )
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp Ginger ground
• 2 piece Garlic ( finely minced )
• 1 tsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Corn starch
• 2 tbsp Peanut oil
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 piece Spring onion, sauté/poêlé sans matière grasse ( thinly sliced on the bias )
• 20 g Fresh ginger ( grated )

Instructions

1. Cut the meat

   Cut the beef fillet into regular 2 cm cubes. The pieces must be uniform for even cooking in the wok.

2. Marinate and coat

   In a mixing bowl, combine the beef with the soy sauce, ground ginger, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and brown sugar. Sprinkle with cornstarch to coat each piece; this will create the sauce's binding.

3. Sear in the wok

   Heat the peanut oil until smoking. Add the beef cubes. The meat should sizzle on contact with the metal. Let it brown without stirring for 1 minute to get a brown crust.

4. Finish and glaze

   Add the sesame oil and sliced green onions. Stir vigorously. The sauce should thicken instantly and become glossy, coating each piece of meat syrupy.

Chef's tips

• Do not overcrowd the wok: too much meat will cause it to boil instead of sear.
• Take the meat out of the fridge 20 minutes beforehand to avoid thermal shock.

Storage

Eat immediately. Beef loses its tenderness as it cools.
