Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 120 grams Cornstarch
- 1 large Egg
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 15 grams Fresh ginger
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Rice vinegar
- 30 ml Hoisin sauce
- 30 grams Sugar
- 5 grams Red chili flakes
- 5 ml Sesame oil
- 2 units Green onions
- 10 grams Sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and combine with 60 grams of cornstarch. Add the beef strips and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 60 grams of cornstarch over the beef and toss again to ensure they’re evenly coated and ready for frying.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Carefully fry the beef strips in batches for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water.
Finely mince the fresh ginger and garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a clean wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and red chili flakes, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the prepared sauce into the wok and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the crispy beef strips to the wok and toss until they are fully coated in the sauce.
Drizzle sesame oil over the dish and toss again to combine.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
