Beef in Chinese recipes is generally cut into very fine slices. Put the beef into the freezer for 1/2 an hour to make slicing easy.

1 lb. (500 g) fillet of steak, in one piece
1 1/2 tsp. soy sauce Pepper
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. cornflour (cornstarch)
2 Tbsp. water
2 Tbsp. oil

Sauce
1 clove garlic
1 med. onion
3 tsp. sate sauce
2 tsp. dry sherry
1 tsp. curry powder salt
2 Tbsp. water
2 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. sugar

Trim all fat and sinew from meat. Cut meat into 5mm (1/4 in.) slices.

Gently pound each slice to flatten slightly. Put meat in bowl. Add soy sauce, pepper, sesame oil, cornstarch and water, mix well. Stand 20 mins.

Heat oil in wok or pan, sauté meat until brown, separating each piece as it goes into the wok; brown on both sides, remove meat from pan.

Peel and roughly dice onion, add to pan with crushed garlic, sauté gently until onion is transparent. Combine sate sauce, sherry, sugar, curry powder, salt, water and soy sauce. Add to onions in pan. Stir until boiling. Return beef to pan, cook until beef is tender, it should need only about a mins.

Serves 4.
