Cut any excess fat from steak then slice into long, thin strips. Transfer beef strips to a large bowl, along with Beef Marinade ingredients, then, using your hands, massage marinade into beef strips. Add cornflour to a separate, large bowl, then add beef strips, in batches, to cornflour and mix until beef is coated all over.
Heat 2 tbsp of groundnut oil in a large pan, until very hot, and add beef strips. Cook beef for 5-10 mins, until crispy all over, then remove from pan and place on a kitchen towel to any drain excess oil.
Heat remaining tsp of groundnut oil in the same, then add onion and pepper. Fry for 3-4 mins on high heat before adding garlic, ginger and red chilli. Cook for 2 mins, then add soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, tomato puree, honey and a splash of water to loosen sauce. Simmer sauce for a few mins before adding beef back to pan and tossing to combine.
Serve on basmati rice with sesame seeds and chopped coriander.
