Enjoy a takeout-style dinner at home with this quick and crispy one-pan chilli beef. Tender strips of steak are tossed in a sweet and spicy glaze with wok-fried noodles for a satisfying 30-minute meal.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced sizzle steak with the cornflour and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and ground black pepper until the beef is evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the beef strips in batches until golden and crispy. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside on a plate to maintain its crunch, keeping the remaining oil in the pan.
Add the sliced onion and red peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until the vegetables have softened.
Stir in the spring onions, sliced red chilli, garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes until the aromatics are fragrant.
Pour in the sweet chilli sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, and dark soy sauce. Mix well and cook for 1 minute to allow the sauce to bubble and thicken slightly.
Add the straight-to-wok noodles and the crispy beef back into the pan. Toss everything together for 2 minutes until the noodles are heated through and the beef is well-coated in the sauce. Serve immediately in bowls with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
For extra heat, leave the seeds in the red chilli. If you don't have sizzle steak, flank steak or sirloin cut into very thin strips works perfectly. To ensure the beef stays crispy, make sure the oil is shimmering hot before adding the meat and avoid overcrowding the pan.
