Ingredients
- 400g Lean beef steak [thinly sliced into strips, all visible fat removed]
- 1 Red pepper [sliced into thin strips]
- 1 Onion [Finely diced]
- 2 tbsp Cornflour
- 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- 2 Garlic Cloves [Crushed]
- 1 Red Chilli [Finely Chopped]
- 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Tomato Puree
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 100ml Beef Stock
- 1 tsp Rice Vinegar
- Low-calorie cooking spray

Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Toss the beef strips in a bowl with the cornflour and Chinese five-spice until evenly coated.
- Cook the beef: Heat a non-stick frying pan or wok over high heat and spray with low-calorie cooking spray. Fry the beef strips in batches for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables:Spray the pan with a little more cooking spray and add the red pepper and onion. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until softened but still crisp.
- Make the sauce:In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, tomato puree, honey, beef stock, garlic, chilli, and vinegar. Pour this into the pan with the vegetables and bring to a simmer.
- Combine:Add the crispy beef strips back into the pan and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve: Dish up 4 portions and enjoy!
