Method

7 clear steps

1
Chop the chilies and crush them with the cumin seeds in a mortar for more flavor (skip this if you are short of time).
2
Cut the green peppers open, remove the seeds (optional) and shred them. Cut the scallion into sections.
3
Slice the beef along the grain. Marinate it with 20 ml light soy sauce, 10 g starch and some of the 15 ml oil, mixing well, for 30 minutes.
4
Heat the remaining oil, add the scallion and fry until fragrant, then add the marinated beef and stir-fry.
5
When the beef changes color, add the crushed cumin and chilies evenly and stir-fry until cooked.
6
Add the green pepper shreds and, when they are just cooked, add 3 g salt.
7
Stir-fry over high heat 1 minute, turn off the heat and toss 30 seconds more so it heats evenly. Check there is no pink in the beef (63°C) and serve.
