How to Make Beef With Chilli Plum Sauce

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1-2 red chilies (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1/4 cup chilli plum sauce.
  2. Place 1 lb beef sirloin (thinly sliced) in a glass or ceramic dish. Pour half the sauce mixture over the beef, ensuring it's evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to marinate.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook to your desired level of doneness (about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Transfer the beef to a plate, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
  4. Microwave the remaining sauce on medium power for 2 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, gently heat it in a small saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop.
  5. Arrange the sliced beef on a platter and drizzle generously with the heated chilli plum sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
