At a glance
You're looking at a quick 30-minute dinner that packs serious flavor without the fuss—the beef gets coated in cornflour and seared until golden, then tossed with a bold ginger-garlic sauce that comes together in minutes. The main time investment is a simple 15-minute fridge rest for the coated beef, so you can prep the sauce and get cooking while it chills.

Coat the beef in cornflour
Start by slicing the beef into strips. Put the cornflour in a deep bowl and add the beef strips. Toss with a fork until the beef is evenly coated and there's no loose cornflour left in the bowl. Let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Make the sauce
Heat three tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add the crushed garlic and grated ginger, and stir for three minutes. Add the soy sauce, water and brown sugar. Bring to the boil and cook for two minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Sear the beef
Get a large wok ready. Add four tablespoons of oil and heat it well. Tip the beef into the hot oil. Fry, stirring, until the beef is nicely browned on all sides — this should take about three to four minutes in total.
