Ingredients

for the sauce-
  • 1 1/2 cups Sweet chili sauce
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
for the beef-
  • 1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak
  • 4-5 tablespoons cornstarch divided
  • 1 cup peanut oil for frying (add more as needed)
  • salt to taste
to serve-
  • 2 cups white rice cooked
  • white sesame seeds for garnish
  • 3 green onions diced, for garnish

Instructions

for the sauce-
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, heat all ingredients for sauce until warmed. Keep on a very low simmer while you cook the beef.
for the beef-
  1. Cut sirloin steak across the grain into 1/4 inch-thick pieces* and place into a large bowl. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons cornstarch. Stir to coat each piece in cornstarch and set aside.
  2. In a large, deep pot, pour in oil and bring up to 350-375° F.
  3. The meat will absorb the cornstarch slightly, so sprinkle in 1-2 more tablespoons to coat everything again. Stir to ensure all the pieces of meat are separated from each other and evenly coated. This means extra crunchy beef!
  4. Once the oil has come up to temp, fry the meat in batches until browned and crispy.
  5. Drain onto paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Continue cooking the meat in batches.
  6. Once all the beef is cooked, add to the sauce and stir to coat and heat thoroughly.
to serve-
  1. Serve over white rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, if desired.

Notes

  • *freeze your steak 15-20 minutes for easier slicing
