🛒 Ingredients

2 servings

2
  • 400 g (14 oz) beef sirloin or round steak
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Olive oil
  • 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Shoestring potato crisps, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Slice the beef into thin, even strips.

  2. 2

    Lay each strip individually on a cutting board and season both sides with salt and black pepper — seasoning piece by piece ensures every bite is flavourful.

  3. 3

    Let the meat rest for a few minutes while you prepare the aromatics.

  4. 4

    Sauté the sliced onion in a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat until golden and soft.

  5. 5

    Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Add the beef strips and cook over high heat until well browned on all sides.

  7. 7

    Stir in the ketchup, mustard and soy sauce, tossing to coat the meat evenly.

  8. 8

    Pour in the heavy cream, stir gently and simmer on low heat for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  9. 9

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  10. 10

    Serve immediately over steamed white rice or egg noodles, topped with crispy shoestring crisps.

💡 Chef's Tip

For the most tender result, season each beef strip individually before cooking. Heavy cream gives a richer, silkier sauce than single cream.
