Ingredients
For the Beef
- peanut oil for frying, 3 to 4 cups
- 1½ lb ribeye steak sliced into ¼-inch strips
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine Shaoxing, see NOTES
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
For the Sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine Shaoxing, see NOTES
- ¼ cup brown sugar dark
- ¼ cup beef stock or broth
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
For Stir-Frying
- 3 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh, finely chopped
For Serving
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
- 3 cups Steamed rice
Instructions
Prep the Beef
- Heat the oil to 365°F.
- Place the sliced beef in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 egg yolks, soy sauce, wine, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cornstarch, flour, and egg yolk mixture to the beef. Use your hands or two wooden spoons to stir until the beef is completely coated.
- Working in batches, carefully add the beef to the hot oil. Use a spider, or metal tongs, to move the beef around in the oil to prevent them from sticking to each other. Fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and place on a platter. Continue with the remaining beef. Set aside.
Make The Sauce
- Place all of the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until fully combined and the cornstarch has dissolved. Set aside.
Bring It All Together
- After the oil has cooled somewhat, safely discard it. Wipe the wok clean with a paper towel.
- Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, careful not to burn.
- Pour in the sauce and stir frequently until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the beef and stir until fully coated. Remove from the heat and stir in another tablespoon of the sesame oil.
- Serve at once with steamed rice and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.

- Dry sherry is a good substitute for the Chinese cooking wine. Shaoxing can be found in the Asian section of many well-stocked supermarkets, or at Asian food markets.
- Because this dish comes together very quickly, it's important to have all of the ingredients prepped and measured out before you get started.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. It can be frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat on the stove over medium heat, adding a little water, if needed.
