Ingredients

For the Sauce

  • 3-4 tbsp dark soy sauce (£0.27)
  • 2-3 tbsp honey (maple syrup is a great alternative) (£0.10)
  • 1 tbsp white/malt vinegar
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • pinch of black pepper
  • pinch of salt (optional)

Other

  • 3-4 slices of thin-cut beef steaks (£3.83) cut into even strips
  • 2 small white onions (£0.12/1)=(£0.24/2)

  • 4 tbsp garlic cloves (£0.42)

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix together dark soy sauce, honey, white/malt vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper a the salt (optional).
  • In a pan, drizzle in oil and turn the heat up to medium-high. Once the pan is hot fry the sliced onions, chili, garlic and ginger. Saute for 3-5 minutes.
  • Drizzle a tablespoon or two of the marinade into the pan and allow it caramalize the onions, chilli, garlic and ginger.
  • Turn the heat high and throw in the strips of steak and allow to fry for a few minutes or until cooked through. Pour in the rest of the mariande and allow it to simmer and coat the steak strips for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve with rice and salad and enjoy!

Notes

  • To make the steak strips crisper coat the strips in corn flour and fry them separately
  • I like my sweet chilli steak slightly less sweeter and much more spicer so I choose to replace honey with maple syrup instead!
