Crispy Szechuan Beef
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced flank steak with 1/4 cup of cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated steak in batches and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Transfer the cooked steak to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the garlic and ginger, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the crispy steak back into the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the steak is heated through and the sauce is evenly distributed.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
- Serve the crispy Szechuan beef hot with steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
Crispy Szechuan Beef is a popular Chinese dish known for its bold flavors and crunchy texture. Originating from the Szechuan province in China, this dish has a rich history dating back to ancient times. The dish is traditionally made by marinating thinly sliced beef in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, then coating it in a seasoned cornstarch before deep-frying to achieve its signature crispiness. The beef is then stir-fried with Szechuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, and other spices to create a spicy and savory flavor profile. Today, this dish can be found in many Chinese restaurants around the world, with variations in preparation and spice levels. For the best version of this dish, seek out authentic Szechuan restaurants known for their mastery of bold and fiery flavors. The key to a perfect Crispy Szechuan Beef lies in achieving the ideal balance of crispy texture and spicy, aromatic seasoning.
