Method: How to make stir fried beef with peppers and egg noodles :

1. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil for the noodles.

2. Trim and cut the beef fillet into thin strips, place into a bowl and toss

with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, a little sesame oil and a pinch each of salt

and pepper. Crush in the garlic, add the grated ginger and mix well. Leave

to marinade for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the vegetables.

3. Heat a wok or a large frying pan until hot then add a little groundnut oil,

and a touch of sesame oil, swirling the wok to coat the surface evenly. Add

the beef strips and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until nicely browned.

Strain into a colander and catch the juices in a bowl underneath.

4. Slice the pepper, spring onions and red chilli and toss together in a large

bowl. Add a little more groundnut oil and sesame oil to the pan and stir-fry

the vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Add the beansprouts and half the chopped

coriander for the last 30 seconds. Remove the vegetables and transfer to

the colander with the beef.

5. For the sauce, pour 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, the oyster sauce, rice

vinegar and the reserved beef juices to the pan and allow to reduce to a

syrupy glaze.

6. Blanch the noodles in the boiling water for about 3-4 minutes, until

tender but still retaining a slight bite, then drain and immediately toss with

a little sesame oil and the remaining coriander. Divide equally among

serving bowls.

7. Return the beef and vegetables to the pan with the sauce to warm

though. Spoon the beef, vegetables and sauce over the noodles and serve at

once.
