A spicy and juicy side dish from Cantonese cuisine in China.

Cut the thawed beef fillet into 3 mm thick slices (best done with an electric bread slicer) and cut the slices crosswise into thirds. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and marinate the beef fillet for 1 hour at room temperature. Peel the washed tomatoes, cut them into eighths lengthwise, and remove the green and white parts. Cut the washed spring onion crosswise into approximately 2 cm long pieces and halve them lengthwise. Cut the fresh, washed, and peeled ginger crosswise into thin slices. Quarter large slices. Peel the onions and garlic cloves and chop into small pieces. Cut the washed chili crosswise into thin slices, leaving the seeds on and discarding the stem. Set aside the ginger, onions, garlic cloves, and chili. Strain the meat pieces and drain well. Pour the two spice mixtures into small bowls, mix well, and set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil in a wok until very hot, then add the meat pieces. Stir-fry until all the pieces have changed color. If stirred properly, this should only take 1 minute. Remove the meat pieces from the wok and set aside. Add another 2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil to the wok and heat until hot. Add the reserved vegetables and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and spring onions and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Deglaze with seasoning mix 1 and stir in seasoning mix 2. Simmer for 1 minute, then add the meat. Transfer the mixture from the wok to a serving dish. Drizzle with sesame oil, garnish with flowers and leaves if desired, serve as a side dish or main course, and enjoy. Note: Beef is relatively expensive, not only in China, and is often only used in small quantities.
