Crispy Shredded Beef

Crispy Shredded Beef

Crispy shredded beef is one of my absolute favourites, much to the disgust of most of my family. They don’t like it, but I ensure it’s always on the menu should we order a takeaway. 

I’ve made the recipe quite dry, but if you like it really saucy, just multiply up the sauce ingredients. 

Serve it with simply steamed jasmine rice and it’s a winner in my book.

  8. Shake off the excess and add to the wok carefully. 
  9. Fry for about 4 minutes until the beef crisps up.

  12. Set it aside. 
  13. Drain your wok and place back on the Egg. 
  14. Get your Egg to 220°C.
