Crispy Sticky Beef

Ingredients

• 1 pound ribeye steak (or sirloin, cut into thin strips)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• ½ cup cornstarch

Stir Fry Sauce

• ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon sweet dark soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• ¼ teaspoons red chili flakes

Garnish

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted)
• 1 green onion (thinly sliced)

Instructions 

1. Prepare the beef. In a small bowl, toss together the beef strips with the tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, minced garlic and cornstarch. Let the beef rest for 5 minutes while heating the oil.
2. Heat the oil. Heat a non-stick skillet with about 1 inch of vegetable oil over high heat until it reaches 325°F.
3. Fry the beef strips. Shake off any excess cornstarch from the beef as you’re adding them to the skillet and fry over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Transfer the beef to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining beef.
4. Make the sauce and toss with beef. Heat a clean wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add all the sauce ingredients and simmer for about 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and it thickens slightly. Add the beef and toss everything together until the beef is evenly coated. Remove from heat.
5. Garnish and serve. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve.
