Crispy Ginger Beef
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef top round steak, cut into thin slices
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 carrots, cut into matchstick-size pieces
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 5 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, or as needed
Instructions
1
Combine the ground beef and beaten eggs in a mixing bowl, blending them seamlessly together.
2
In a separate container, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth and well combined; add this mixture to the beef mixture, stirring until everything is fully incorporated.
3
Heat a generous amount of oil, approximately 2 to 3 inches deep, in a wok over high heat; bring the temperature up to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4
In batches, cook the beef strips in the hot oil until they are nicely browned and crispy on the outside, taking around 4 minutes to achieve this; remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside, keeping them warm until you're ready to serve.
5
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining beef strips.
6
In a large skillet, heat a substantial amount of sesame oil over medium-high heat; add the sliced carrots, chopped green onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the skillet.
7
Stir-fry the vegetables in the hot oil until they begin to soften and become tender, approximately 5 minutes.
8
Add soy sauce, white vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture; stir until everything is well combined.
9
Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the cooked beef strips back into the skillet; sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
