FRIED STEAK WITH CHILI

Preparation Method :

• Slice the meat thinly across the grain, then cut the slices into 2 inch squares.
• Arrange in a single- layer on a plate and sprinkle with the coriander, tamarind water, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Press each piece with your hands so that the spices are thoroughly absorbed into the meat, and then spread the slices out on the plate again. Leave to stand for 2 hours.
• Put the chilies, shallots and garlic in a mortar and pound until broken, but not reduced to a paste. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan.
• Add the meat and fry until evenly browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and keep hot.
• Add the pounded mixture to the oil remaining in the pan and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Return the meat to the pan and stir to coat with the spice mixture. Add the lemon juice and salt to taste and stir well.
• Serve hot.
