Ingredients

2 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Heat the oil over a high heat in a heavy-based pan. Add the steak and fry over a high heat for 2–3 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Add the shallots and ginger and fry over a medium heat for 10 mins. Add the whole spices and cook for 3 mins. Pour in the stock and add the whole green chilli. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook covered for 30 mins.
