I’m almost embarrassed to put this up as a recipe. But then I realised that of all the recipes I’ve shared in the four years I’ve contributed to Good Food,this is probably the one I make most often. It’s quick and easy,and I can replace the steak with chicken breast,pork chops,fish or eggplant steaks,and vary the sides.
The key,of course,is finding a good crispy chilli oil. It will become your best friend in the kitchen. I collect crispy chilli oil from family-run shops and markets like some people collect coins or Pokemon cards. But the one I can always rely on is Lao Gan Ma. Once you’ve tried it,you’ll understand why the “angry grandma” pictured on the label is a billionaire.
