  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 500g beef strips (flank or sirloin)
– 1 cup cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 2 tablespoons sugar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1-2 teaspoons chili sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 bell pepper, sliced
– 1 onion, sliced
– 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
– 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
– Spring onions, for garnish
– Sesame seeds, for garnishing


Instructions

Creating Crispy Chilli Beef is simple if you follow these clear instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine beef strips, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and chili sauce. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Coating: Spread cornstarch on a plate. Remove the beef from the marinade and coat each piece with cornstarch. Shake off excess.
3. Heat Oil: In a wok or large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Fry the Beef: Add coated beef strips in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy (approximately 3-4 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds, then add bell pepper and onion, stir-frying slightly until tender-crisp.
6. Combine with Beef: Return the crispy beef to the pan, tossing it with the vegetables.
7. Add Sauce: Pour any remaining marinade into the pan. Stir-fry everything together for about 1-2 minutes until well coated and heated through.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds for extra flavor and presentation.
9. Serve Immediately: Plate the dish while it’s hot and enjoy!
