Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your crispy and flavorful dish:
1. Prep the Beef: Start by slicing the beef thinly against the grain. This ensures tenderness.
2. Marinate: In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Coat the Beef: In a separate bowl, add the cornstarch. Dredge the marinated beef in cornstarch until fully coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering.
5. Cook the Beef: Carefully add the coated beef to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Stir-fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add garlic, red chillies, onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.
7. Combine: Return the crispy beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add sweet chilli sauce and rice vinegar. Toss everything together to coat the beef and veggies.
8. Finishing Touches: Once heated through, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
9. Serve Immediately: Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy hot for the best texture and flavor.
