    We do the odd marguerite, for sure. They have just come ripe now.

    Excited really isn’t a strong enough word to describe how thrilled I am to share this Sichuan Boiled Beef recipe with all of you! “Ecstatic" and "triumphant" might do a better job. It’s a great dish

    I'd suggest skirt steak? We use it a lot in asian cooking, it is perfect for flash stir frying. If you still can't get that I reckon rump would be okay, just slice the meat really thin

    Rump! Shin needs a slower cook.

    Rump - put it in the freezer for half an hour before slicing and use a thin sharp knife

    I didn't read the recipe, but regardless in all stir fry type situations I will slice the meat thin then sprinkle a little salt in the bowl. Not scientific but I reckon it tastes better that way. I've used baking soda to tenderize some times, it works to make it tender but you do lose a lot of the bite which I enjoy. If the meat looks tough you can, but not too much and not for too long

    Or boil it, need to keep the heat up. I'll put it in the wok and spread it out, then not touch it for some time to get it browned well before flipping or stirring

    I'd never use rump in this situation. I'd only slow-cook rump. As Dogmeat said, par-freeze the meat and then slice it thinly, but use sirloin.

    This recipe uses baking soda:

    "In a medium bowl, toss together the beef, baking soda, and 1/4 cup water, and allow it to marinate for 1 hour. The baking soda will help to tenderize the beef."

    Then water:

    "Then “wash” the beef under running water for 5 minutes, using a light to moderate stream of water so it flows out, but the beef stays in the bowl."

    Then cornstarch:

    "After the beef has been rinsed, pour out the water, and marinate the beef with two teaspoons of cornstarch. Set aside"

    @shark I assumed sirloin wasn't an option

    If I'm doing it I only dunk it for about 20 minutes. If the meat is good and looks quite tender you probably don't need it frankly

    Ended up doing this tonight - on a bit of an Asian kick since the Asian supermarket is still open and the dishes work with lesser cuts or just straight less meat.

    Was pretty tasty, we have some crazy asian chilli oil which had me sweating into my bowl
