- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon light muscovado sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornflour
- 350 grams 12 ounces rump steak, sliced into long strips

Instructions
- Prepare the Thai sauce. Combine all the ingredients for the Thai-style sauce in a bowl, ensuring a thorough mix.
- Marinade the steak strips. Place the steak strips in a separate bowl and add the marinade comprising chili, lime juice, and soy sauce. Coat the steak strips well, allowing them to marinate for approximately 30 minutes.
- Sauté the beef. In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add the beef, excluding the marinade, and sauté until it achieves a golden brown hue. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- Stir-fry the veggies. Add the remaining oil to the pan, along with baby corn, pepper, pak choi, and onion. Stir-fry over high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Mix the sauce and beef. Pour in the Thai-style sauce and the reserved marinade, stirring continuously for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Reintroduce the beef to the pan and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve. Transfer the contents to a heated serving dish and garnish with basil before serving.
