Mandarin orange beef-TNT
1/2 pound beef fillet, weighed after trimming, cut into strips 2 1/2 inches by 1/4 inch 1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten 1/2 teaspoon Shao-Hsing wine (chinese cooking wine) 1/2 t. white pepper powder 2 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon oil
For the Sauce 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon Chinese white rice vinegar 2 tablespoons water Pinch white pepper powder salt to taste
5 small dried chillies (you can break some in 1/2 to make the chillies release more flavour so it's spicier) 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 fresh bird's eye chillies (more if you like it really spicy), minced 2 pieces of dried orange peel, soak in water for about 30 minutes then cut into strips 2 scallions, trimmed and cut into sections as long as the dry chillies
Marinate the beef with the wine, white pepper, egg white, and cornstarch mixing with your hand each time an ingredient is added. Allow to rest for 1 hour, refrigerated. add in table spoon of oil just before cooking. There should be no residue and the beef should look shiny. In a bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside. Heat a wok over high heat till smoky. Add enough oil for "deep-frying" the beef. heat the oil till smoky again. Place the beef strips in the wok, loosening the beef with a spatula quickly. Once the beef is slightly cooked, remove with a strainer and drain. leave enough oil in the wok to "shallow fry", add the beef strips again and cook until the beef becomes crisp. Remove and set aside. leave about 1 tablespoon oil Add the dried chillies, stir, and cook until darkened. (don NOT over cook or else they will be burnt really quick!) Add the ginger and garlic and stir briefly till fragrant. Add the fresh chilli and orange peel stripes and serve immediately.

Tomato Beef
8 ounces flank steak, well trimmed 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons thin soy sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon rice cooking wine 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil 1 1/4 teaspoons sugar 5 tomatoes, about 2 pounds 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 6 slices ginger 3 tablespoons oyster flavored sauce 4 scallions, cut into 2 inch sections
Halve the flank steak with the grain into two strips. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place slices in a shallow bowl and sprinkle with the baking soda; stir to combine. Add the soy sauce, cornstarch, rice wine, sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Stir to combine and set aside. In a large pot, bring about 1 1/2 quarts of water to a boil over high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook 1 to 3 minutes or until the tomato skins just break. Remove tomatoes with a slotted spoon and, when cool enough to handle, peel skins. Core tomatoes and cut into 1/2 inch thick wedges. Meanwhile, stir 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the beef mixture. Heat a 14 inch flat bottomed wok or skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the remaining tablespoon vegetable oil and ginger and stir fry about 1 minute. Carefully add the beef, spreading it in the wok. Cook, undisturbed, 1 to 2 minutes, letting beef begin to brown. Then, using a metal spatula, stir fry 1 to 2 minutes or until beef is browned but still slightly rare. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside. Add the tomatoes and remaining teaspoon of sugar to wok and stir fry 1 minute on high heat until tomatoes begin to soften. Add oyster sauce and 1/4 cup cold water, cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the tomatoes are just limp. Add the beef and any juices that have accumulated on the plate and the scallions and stir fry 1 minute or until just heated through. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
