– 2 teaspoons sesame oil
– 300g lean beef, sliced thinly
– 1 medium carrot, cut into thin strips
– 1 small red capsicum, sliced into small diagonal pieces
– 100g small mushrooms, quartered
– 3 spring onions, cut into diagonal pieces

– 2-6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (I recommend 6-8 cloves)
– 1/4 cup organic soy sauce
– 1-2 teaspoons cornflour
– 1/2 cup water
– Salt and pepper to taste
1. Marinate the Beef: Start by marinating the beef. Place the beef and sliced garlic in a glass bowl. Add 1-2 tablespoons of sherry or fortified wine and soy sauce. Stir well and let it marinate for at least an hour, or overnight for the best results. This step ensures the meat is tender and full of flavor.
2. Stir-Fry: Always use a wok for Thai dishes—it enhances the flavors. Heat the sesame oil in the wok until it’s smoking hot. Add the onion and stir-fry for a few minutes until semi-cooked.
3. Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the wok and stir-fry until well-cooked.
4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the remaining vegetables and stir-fry gently for a few minutes.
5. Finish the Dish: Mix the cornflour with water and pour it into the wok. Let it simmer for a minute or two, then gently stir the meat and vegetables through the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Pair this delicious stir-fry with steamed rice and enjoy!
