Shredded Chilli Beef in Hoisin Sauce
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4 people
There are certain favourites amongst Chinese dishes and this certainly ranks highly. I love the combination of sweet chilli sauce and hoisin sauce (now readily available kosher) in a stir-fry of beef, carrots and spring onions. Any leftover hoisin sauce can be used like tomato ketchup, or as a marinade or dip.
Serve this dish with noodles or rice but enjoy with chopsticks!
Ingredients
- 2 celery sticks - trimmed and cut into matchsticks
- 125g carrots- peeled and cut into matchsticks

Method
- Season the farina potato flour with salt and pepper and use to coat the steak, cover and set aside.
- Heat a wok, add the oil and when hot, add the spring onions and cook for 1 minute, then add the steak and stir fry for 3-4 minutes or until the meat is sealed.
- Add the celery and carrot matchsticks to the wok and stir fry for a further 2 minutes before adding the soy sauce, hoisin and chilli sauces and the sherry.
