Stir-Fried Beef Curry - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb lean beef steak, sliced 2-inches long x 1/4-inch thick
3 tablespoons peanut oil
8 ounces onions, sliced (1 cup)
2 tablespoons garlic, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons spring onions, finely chopped
Marinade
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon shaoxing rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Curry Sauce
1 tablespoon shaoxing rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon madras curry paste or 1 tablespoon Madras curry powder
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chicken stock or 2 tablespoons water

Preparation

Place beef in a bowl; add all marinade ingredients and allow to marinate for 20 minutes.
Pre-heat wok until very hot.
Add the peanut oil, and heat until oil smokes a little; then stir-fry beef until lightly browned (3-5 minutes).
Remove from wok and drain well in a colander set inside a bowl to reserve oil.
Wipe the wok clean and re-heat over high heat.
Return 1 tablespoon of reserved oil to the wok, and stir-fry the onions and garlic for 1 minute.
Mix in all ingredients listed under sauce, and let mixture simmer for 3 minutes.
Return the beef to the wok and toss to coat thoroughly with sauce.
Serve immediately.
