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

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.
