and stir-fry the onion and green pepper over a high heat for 5 minutes or until
soft but not brown.
4. Add the beef and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Sichuan Orange Beef
For the beef
1 Tbs Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
2 Tbs light soy sauce
2 Tbs clear honey
4 Tbs orange juice
pinch ground white pepper
2 beef fillet steaks
1 Tbs groundnut oil
100g/3 ½oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced

steaks, cover the bowl with cling film and leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes
