Equipment
- Frying Pan or Wok
- Mixing bowls
- Tongs or Slotted Spoon
- Small Saucepan
Ingredients
For the Beef
- 1 lb 450g flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame oil optional for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Coat the Beef: In a bowl, mix cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Toss the beef strips in the cornstarch mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Fry the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the beef in batches for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add sesame oil if using.
- Combine and Toss: Add the crispy beef to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to absorb into the beef.
- Serve: Serve immediately over steamed rice, noodles, or vegetables. Enjoy the crispy, sweet, and savory goodness!
