Crispy Beef

Ingredients

• 400 g Beef (thinly sliced into strips)
• 0.5 tsp Salt (for marinade)
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp White pepper
• 1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
• 4.5 tbsp Corn flour (4-5 Tbsp)
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce (National brand recommended)
• 1 Egg (small)
• 0.5 tbsp Garlic (chopped)
• 1 Onion (julienne cut)
• 1 Capsicum (julienne cut)
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 0.25 tsp Salt (for gravy)
• 1 tsp Red chilli crushed
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (National brand recommended)
• 2 tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
• 1 tbsp Vinegar (National brand recommended)
• 2 tbsp Tomato ketchup (National brand recommended)
• 3.5 tbsp Water (3-4 tbsp)
• Oil (for deep frying)

Steps

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the 400 grams of beef strips with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 small egg.

2. 2

   Add 4-5 tbsp of corn flour to the beef mixture and mix thoroughly until every strip is well-coated.

3. 3

   Heat oil in a deep pan or wok. Fry the beef strips in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside to drain.

4. 4

   In a separate pan or clean wok, heat a small amount of oil and add 1/2 tbsp chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the julienned onion and capsicum to the pan. Stir-fry briefly until slightly softened but still crisp.

6. 6

   Add 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp crushed red chilli, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce, 1 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp tomato ketchup, and 3-4 tbsp water.

7. 7

   Stir the sauce ingredients together and bring to a simmer until the gravy thickens slightly.

8. 8

   Add the fried crispy beef back into the pan. Toss quickly to coat the beef evenly in the gravy and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use a tender cut of beef like undercut or tenderloin to ensure it cooks through quickly during the frying process. Serve hot to maintain the crispiness of the beef.
