- 1 tablespoon satay sauce

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Ingredients: Start by thinly slicing the steak across the grain. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch cubes. Peel the onions, quarter them, and separate each layer. |
| 2 | Cook Potatoes: Heat oil in a pan or wok over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are just tender but still retain a crisp texture. Toss occasionally to ensure even cooking. |
| 3 | Add Onions and Curry Powder: To the pan with potatoes, add the quartered onions and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Once done, remove the potatoes and onions from the pan and set aside. |
| 4 | Cook the Steak: In the same pan, heat extra oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook until it turns golden brown on both sides and is cooked through. |
| 5 | Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked potatoes and onions to the pan with the steak. Sprinkle additional curry powder to taste, and toss everything together for about 2 minutes, ensuring the flavors are well distributed. |
| 6 | Prepare Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the satay sauce, Chinese chili sauce, soy sauce, water, beef stock cube, cornflour, and sherry wine. Mix well until the cornflour is fully dissolved. |
| 7 | Thicken Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and potato mixture in the pan. Toss everything together until the sauce starts to boil and thicken. |
| 8 | Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the dish simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked and tender, and the flavors have melded beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. |
| 9 | Serve: Once the dish is ready, serve hot with boiled rice, allowing everyone to enjoy the delicious flavors of this Chinese-inspired curry. |
