Start by slicing the beef into thin strips. Cut against the grain to keep the meat tender. Once sliced, marinate the strips with a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. This locks in flavor and gives the beef a beautiful aroma.
Toss the marinated beef strips in cornstarch until they’re evenly coated. Heat oil in a wok or deep frying pan until shimmering. Carefully fry the beef in batches to achieve that satisfying crunch. Remove the cooked beef and place on paper towels to soak up excess oil. ✨
Time to create the sauce! Sauté minced garlic and ginger in a little oil until fragrant. Add fresh red and green chillies, followed by a mix of ketchup, vinegar, and sugar. Stir everything until the sauce thickens slightly, making it perfect for coating the crispy beef. 🍯🌶️
Toss your crispy beef into the wok with the sweet chilli sauce. Mix well to make sure each piece is generously coated. This step ties all the flavors together beautifully. Don’t forget to give it a quick taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Sprinkle chopped spring onions over the dish for a pop of color and freshness. Serve it hot and watch those plates empty in no time! 🥢💖
