Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Lean beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture for optimal crispiness.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the beef strips and toss well to coat. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the marinated beef strips, tossing them gently to ensure even coating. The cornstarch will help achieve a crispy texture.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Add the sesame oil for flavor.
Once the skillet is hot, add the beef strips in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the beef strips for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they develop a deep brown, crispy crust. Avoid stirring them too much to ensure crispiness.
Transfer the cooked beef strips to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the crispy beef strips for a fresh garnish just before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.
