Directions

Slice the beef across the grain into strips.
Pound or grind the chilies, garlic, and onion to a coarse paste in a mortar or blender. You should only need to add the 2 tablespoons of oil if you do this in a blender.
Heat a wok over high heat, add the oil, and swirl to coat pan. (Do not add more oil if you have ground the chilies, onion, and garlic in oil.)
Add the chile paste and stir-fry until it is light golden.
