Ingredients

Units Scale

Steak Marinade

  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak (approximately 3 – 4 steaks), sliced into thin strips against the grain
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

Crispy Coating

  • 1 cup corn starch
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Optional Garnishes

  • Diced green onion
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: Slice the sirloin steak into thin strips against the grain to ensure tenderness. Combine the steak strips with minced garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce in a bowl. Mix well to coat all pieces evenly and let marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Prepare for Frying: Heat oil in a large pot or frying pan over medium-high heat to prepare for deep frying the beef. The oil should be hot enough to bubble when tested with a wooden chopstick or spoon.
  3. Coat the Beef: In a large bowl, toss the marinated steak strips with cornstarch until they are evenly coated. This coating will create the crispy crust when fried.
  4. Fry the Beef: Using tongs, shake off any excess cornstarch from the beef strips before carefully placing them in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each batch for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried beef and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Repeat until all beef is fried.
  5. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a large frying pan, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if using). Simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  6. Toss the Beef in Sauce: Add the crispy fried beef to the sauce pan and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated. The sauce will thicken further by interacting with the cornstarch crust on the beef.
  7. Serve: Serve the honey garlic beef hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with diced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

  • Slice the steak thinly and against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan to ensure the beef crisps properly.
  • Use a thermometer to keep the frying oil between 350°F to 375°F for best results.
  • Adjust chili flakes to your spice preference or omit for a milder dish.
  • Leftover beef can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet.
