Method:

1. Combine the eater, soy sauce, wine or sherry, sugar and salt and set aside.

2. Heat half the oil in a large frying-pan for 30 seconds. Add half the meat to the pan and fry for 2 minutes, stirring and turning constantly.

3. Transfer the cubes to a plate. Add the remaining oil and remaining beef cubes to the pan and fry until they are lightly browned. Return the first batch of cubes to the pan and stir in the soy sauce mixture. Bring to the boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, or until the beef is cooked through and tender.

4. Transfer the mixture to a warmed serving dish and serve at once.
