Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 920 g before cooking, which is about 460 g per serving.
Steps
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.
Add 4-5 tbsp of corn flour to the beef mixture and mix thoroughly until every strip is well-coated.
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.
In a separate pan or clean wok, heat a small amount of oil and add 1/2 tbsp chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
Add the julienned onion and capsicum to the pan. Stir-fry briefly until slightly softened but still crisp.
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.
Stir the sauce ingredients together and bring to a simmer until the gravy thickens slightly.
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.
