Method

Trim the beef of any excess fat and cut into thin strips across the grain of the meat.
Toss the meat in cornflour and coat thoroughly, shaking off any excess.
Heat the oil in a wok, frying or sauté pan and add the beef. Stir fry over a high heat for 3 minutes until just cooked.
Remove the beef from the pan, set aside and keep warm.
Add the peppers, celery, onions, garlic, ginger and stock. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring continuously until the stock has reduced to about a couple of tablespoons.
Mix together the soy sauce, sherry or rice wine and brown sugar and add to the wok with the beef. Stir fry for 2 – 3 minutes. Serve with rice or noodles.
