Sweet and Spicy Beef Stir-Fry with Vegetables

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kg beef (cubed)
• 4 large tomatoes
• 1 oz red chili peppers
• 4 shallots
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 carrots
• 1 oz green beans
• 2 sweet corn cobs
• A handful of fresh celery leaves
• 2 scallions
• Salt and seasoning (MSG) to taste
• Sugar to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

   • Begin by boiling the beef with a blend of shallots, garlic, and ginger. Season with salt and MSG. Cook until the beef is tender.
   • Once tender, remove the beef from the pot and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Coat the beef pieces with flour, making sure to cover them evenly.

2. Fry the Beef:

   • Heat oil in a pan and fry the floured beef pieces until they are crispy and golden brown. Once fried, set the beef aside.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Blend the tomatoes into a smooth puree and grind the red chili peppers into a fine paste.
   • In a separate pan, sauté the shallots, garlic, and chili paste until they become fragrant.

4. Make the Stir-Fry Sauce:

   • Add the tomato puree to the pan and season with salt, MSG, and sugar to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens slightly.

5. Add the Vegetables:

   • Cut the carrots, green beans, and sweet corn into bite-sized pieces. Add these vegetables to the sauce and cook until the vegetables are tender.

6. Combine and Finish:

   • Add the crispy beef pieces to the pan and stir well to coat the beef with the sauce.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped celery leaves and scallions for added flavor and freshness.

7. Serve:

   • Serve the sweet and spicy beef stir-fry hot, either on its own or with steamed rice.
