# Ingredients:

→ Golden Potatoes

01 - A splash of olive oil
02 - Enough vegetable oil for frying
03 - Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
05 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for seasoning
06 - 3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced into thick rounds

→ Flavored Beef Mix

07 - 1/2 of a green bell pepper, cut into strips
08 - 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
09 - One teaspoon of cornstarch
10 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce for marinating
11 - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
12 - 60ml of beef stock or water—your pick
13 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for cooking
14 - Half of a red bell pepper, sliced thin
15 - 1 green chili, chopped thinly (optional)
16 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed into 1 tablespoon water for thickening
17 - 450 grams of beef sliced super thin (sirloin or flank works well)
18 - 2 cloves of garlic, minced
19 - 1 whole small onion, diced
20 - A sprinkle of sugar, about 1/2 teaspoon
21 - Some soy sauce, about 2 tablespoons
22 - Ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon

# Instructions:

01 - Cut your spuds into chunky rounds and pop them into a pot of salty boiling water for five minutes. Once done, drain them well and pat dry.
02 - Heat up a deep skillet with your vegetable oil. Once hot, slide the potato slices in and cook both sides for 4–5 minutes until crispy and golden. Let them drain on a paper towel, then dust them with salt, garlic powder, and pepper while warm.
03 - Mix the beef strips with soy sauce, a sprinkle of black pepper, and cornstarch. Let it sit for a short while.
04 - Get your pan hot with a small amount of oil. Throw in the marinated beef and let it brown for under 3 minutes. Pull it out as soon as it’s seared and set aside.
05 - Keep the pan hot and toss in the chopped onion, garlic, and chili. Let it sizzle before adding the colored bell peppers. Keep stirring so they don’t overcook.
06 - Combine oyster sauce, hoisin (if you’ve got it), soy sauce, sugar, and broth in a bowl. Stir it into the pan along with the cornstarch slurry.
07 - Put the cooked beef back in with the veggies. Make sure the sauce coats everything evenly, then stir for another couple of minutes.
08 - Plate the crispy potato slices beside the beef stir-fry. Serve hot and enjoy while the crunch is perfect!
