  1. FULL RECIPE

    Serves 4⁠
    Hands-on time: 20 minutes⁠
    Hands-off time: 15 minutes⁠

    INGREDIENTS⁠

    1 cup Selati Golden Brown Sugar⁠
    5 tbsp cornflour⁠
    ⅔ cup white vinegar⁠
    ½ cup tomato sauce⁠
    2 tbsps soy sauce⁠
    1 tray (400g) beef strips⁠
    ½ tsp each salt & pepper, to season⁠
    ¼ cup oil, of choice⁠
    1 green/red bell pepper, cubed ⁠
    1 white onion, cubed⁠
    1 cup cubed pineapple (optional)⁠

    Serving suggestion:⁠
    Spring onion, sliced⁠
    Toasted sesame seeds⁠
    Jasmine rice⁠

    METHOD⁠

    1. Place a medium-sized pot over medium heat. To make the sweet and sour sauce, add the Selati Golden Brown Sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornflour, ½ cup of water, vinegar, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce bubbles and thickens. Set aside until needed.⁠

    2. In a large bowl, season the beef strips with salt and pepper and coat the beef with the remaining 3 tablespoons of cornflour. *Chef’s Tip: Alternatively, swop the beef for your protein of choice!⁠

    3. Add the oil to a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the beef strips to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the beef is just cooked and crispy. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside until needed. *Chef’s Tip: Coating the beef in cornflour before frying will result in crispy beef strips! ⁠

    4. Add the peppers, onions and optional pineapple to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked, yet still crisp.⁠

    5. Add the crispy beef along with the sweet and sour sauce to the vegetables and allow to simmer for about 1 minute, stirring frequently.⁠

    6. Garnish the dish generously with sliced spring onion and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve with Jasmine rice and ENJOY! ⁠
