Author: The Chef
Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
Marinade
1 pound flank steak, cut into strips
1 large egg
3 tablespoons soy sauce
5 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
Stir Fry
½ cup vegetable oil
1 large red bell pepper, chopped into 1 inch pieces
½ yellow onion, diced
Sauce
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup tomato paste
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Prepare the steak by cutting it, against the grain, into ¼ inch thick strips about 2 inches long.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Add the sliced steak to the bowl and toss to coat completely. Allow the steak to marinade for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of cornstarch to a bowl. Remove the marinated beef from the marinade, and toss it in the cornstarch, coating each piece completely.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, vinegar, tomato paste, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated and cornstarch-coated steak into the pan then fry the beef until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
Returning to the pan add the diced onion and chopped red bell pepper. Stir fry until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the beef back to the pan and pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir fry everything together until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the Beijing beef over rice and enjoy!
