Crispy Sesame Beef

Step 1

First cut the steak into thin strips against the grain. Then marinate the beef with regular soy sauce, sesame oil, baking soda, and grated ginger. Mix it well and allow it to marinate for at 15 minutes.

Step 2

Add one egg white into the marinated beef and mix everything well. Add cornstarch and coat each beef piece well. Toss the excess flour before adding to the oil.

Step 3

Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set it aside. Prepare garlic and spring onions and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat the oil over medium high-heat oil. Once the oil is hot add the coated beef pieces and fry for 3-4 minutes or until the coating is crispy and golden. Fry the beef in batches and do not overcrowd the frying oil. Remove from oil and set them aside over a paper towel and cooling rack.

Step 5

In a large wok or pan, drizzle oil and saute garlic for a few seconds until fragrant. Next, add crushed chillies and stir fry few more seconds.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce in, stir it well and allow the sauce to reduce slightly and glossy.

Step 7

Then add the fried beef and toss everything well with the sauce. Finish with toasted sesame seeds and spring onions.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
