500 g beef rump or sirloin
0.25 cup soy sauce
0.25 cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil

Method
- Slice the beef into thin sliips. Combine the beef sliips with soy, vinegar, oil, chilli, lemongrass and sugar. Marinate for 30 minutes. Drain the beef sliips, retaining the marinade
- Heat the wok, ensure it is hot. Stir-fry the beef sliips in 3 batches, reserving each cooked batch to rest in a warm bowl. Reheat wok between each batch
- Clean the wok, reheat it and add the exlia oil, then heat. Add the tofu and cook for 1-2 minutes, turn gently until tofu is lightly browned. Remove and set aside. Add onions to wok, stir-fry until soft. Add the water chestnuts and bean sprouts, stir-fry for 30 seconds
- Return the beef to the wok with the reserved marinade, toss for 1 minute. Stir through tofu and coriander leaves. Serve immediately with steamed rice
Tips
- Best beef cuts for stir-frying: Use beef stir-fry sliips or prepare your own from rib eye/scotch fillet/tenderloin, sirloin/porterhouse/New York, rump, boneless blade, round, oyster blade or topside steaks
- When stir-frying meat wait at least 30 seconds before tossing so that the meat has a chance to sear and become brown. This gives the meat great colour and flavour
