Velveting Meat / XO Beef step by step

1. 1. Firstly we can start by thinly slicing the beef..
2. 2. In a bowl add the beef and equal parts cooking wine and cornflour 2tbsp should be adequate, then mix together ensuring beef is coated..
3. 3. Set the mixture aside for 30mins minimum and that's half the velveting done. Now we can concentrate on prepping the stir fry..
4. 4. Finely chop the ginger there's no need to peel it, I've never peeled ginger, also crush and chop the garlic and put them into the same bowl..
5. 5. Chop the peppers, onions and mushrooms then put it into a bowl with the mangetout whole and prep is done..
6. 6. Now to finish velveting the meat. After the meat has sat for 30 minutes, bring a pan of water to boiling point then add the beef and bring to boil again for 3-5 mins, then drain and we're ready for stir fry! Also, you could fry the meat in 2 inches of oil it works the same but that's fat..
7. 7. Get a fresh frying pan and bring it to a high heat then add the oil..
8. 8. When the pan is smoking hot add the garlic and ginger then mix..
9. 9. Before ginger and garlic start browning, add all the veggies and start stir-frying this is going to happen quickly because the pan is going to be very very hot..
10. 10. Once the veggies start softening a lil add the beef and stirfry!.
11. 11. Now add 2 tbsp of XO and mix that baby in then take in those smells. If it seems a lil dry add some water then fry until a thick sauce is formed then you're done. Enjoy with a bowl of rice of something..
