Crispy Chilli Beef

Crispy Chilli Beef

Technically the Beef Fillet would have pushed this well over budget, but these were part of my birthday present from my mum, so we thought we’d make something tasty with them. Oh was it tasty?

Ingredients:-

Beef Fillet, cut into strips. (Other cuts will work just as well.)
Fresh Chillies
Chilli Flakes
Spring Onions
1 tin of Tomatoes
1 Red Pepper, cut into strips
1 Large Onion, chopped
2 clovers of Garlic
Tomato Puree
Seasoned Flour (Gluten free in our case), with Chilli Flakes, Paprika, Garlic Salt, Pepper
Oil to fry
Cider Vinegar.
Margarine
Salt & Pepper
Sugar
Rice Noodles (These are presently on offer at the local Supermarket at 60p a pack)

Method:-

(1) Stir the beef strips in the seasoned Flour.
(2) Fry until crispy and set aside in the oven on a low heat to keep warm.
(3) Fry the Onion and Garlic in Margarine and Oil until soft.
(4) Add the tin of Tomatoes and an equal amount of Water.
(5) Add a good squirt of Tomato Puree.
(6) Simmer for 10 minutes.
(7) Add the Cider Vinegar and Sugar.
(8) Add the half of the fresh Chillies and half of the Spring Onions.
(9) Stir well and simmer for a couple of minutes.
(10) Stir in the Beef.
(11) Serve over Rice Noodles or Rice and dress with the remaining fresh Chilli and Spring Onion.

We served ours with a few fresh fried Papadums. The ingredient quantities are pretty flexible, so you can adjust the heat to your taste.

Chinese Curry Sauce

Obviously most folk would just go to a takeaway and buy a tub of Chinese Curry Sauce. But that’s not an option for Sue as it invariably contains Gluten. So last night we had a bit of a Special Fried Rice gig and Sue cobbled this together to go with it. I’d challenge anybody to tell it apart from the plastic tub version!

Ingredients:-

4 Tsp of Cornflour
1 Tsp of Curry Powder
½ Tsp of Chinese five Spice
¼ Tsp of Ground Ginger
¼ Tsp of Garlic Powder
2 Tsp of Gluten free Soy Sauce
2 Tsp of Chilli Sauce
240Ml of Vegetable Stock
1 Tbsp of Butter / Margarine
1 Tsp of Lemon Juice

Method:-

(1) Mix half of the Cornflour with the dry spices in a bowl.
(2) Melt the Margarine in a pan and add the Cornflour mix.
(3) Keep stirring over a low heat to create a roué.
(4) Slowly add the Stock stirring all the time.
(5) Add a little of the Stock to the remaining Cornflour in a jug and stir well.
(6) Add this to the pan along with the Lemon Juice, Soy Sauce and Chilli Sauce and cook gently until thickened.

I know I’m pretty disgusting, but I had some of the, now set, sauce with the left over Special Fried Rice for breakfast this morning!
