Ingredients
- 1 cup corn starch
- oil (for frying)
Steak Marinade
- 1.5 lb sirloin steak (approximately 3 - 4 steaks)
- 2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh grated)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 6 tablespoon honey
- 4 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
- 5 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 2 teaspoon ginger (fresh grated)
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Slice steak into thin strips against the grain. Combine steak and steak marinade ingredients. Mix to combine. Marinate 10 minutes.
- In a large pot or frying pan, on medium-high heat, heat oil to fry steak.
- In a large bowl combine the sliced steak and corn starch. Toss to evenly coat.
- Test if the oil is hot by placing the end of a wooden chopstick or spoon in the oil. If the oil bubbles around the stick the oil is ready. Prepare a plate with paper towel to drain the meat after frying.
- When the oil is hot, use tongs to shake of the excess corn starch and fry the meat in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain on the paper towel. Repeat until all meat is fried.
- In a large frying pan add all of the sauce ingredients. Simmer 5 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Add in the crispy beef and toss to coat the meat. Note: the sauce will thicken when the meat is added as it is coated in cornstarch.
- Serve the beef over rice or noodles. Garnish with diced green onion and sesame seeds (optional). Enjoy!
