This easy spicy fried beef is dry, intensely flavourful and packed with chilli, garlic and warm spices - with those dark, caramelised edges that make it dangerously easy to keep picking at straight from the plate. š
The beef strips are marinated with chilli flakes, hot chilli powder, paprika, cumin, turmeric, garlic and sweet soy, then shallow-fried until deeply browned before being tossed with fresh onion and red chillies.
Eat it on its own as a spicy snack, or serve it with steamed rice, roti, naan or your favourite bread for an easy meal.
