Rump steak
牛冧
The household stir-fry cut is rump: buy one thick piece, slice it yourself across the grain at three millimetres and velvet it twenty minutes with soy, sugar, starch and oil. Eye fillet is the restaurant cut at several times the price. Supermarket stir-fry strips are cut with the grain and chew; leave them.
Preparation
Slice thin across the grain; marinate twenty minutes.
