Description
Crispy Chilli Beef Rice is a delightful dish featuring tender beef coated in a crispy layer, stir-fried with colorful vegetables and served over fluffy white rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the cornstarch.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef in batches, frying until crispy and browned, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and chili paste. Pour this sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine.
- Return the crispy beef to the skillet, tossing everything together until the beef is well coated in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve the crispy chilli beef over the cooked white rice and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute the flank steak with chicken breast or tofu, and use a non-stick spray instead of oil for frying.
- Add a variety of vegetables such as broccoli, snap peas, or carrots for extra color and nutrition.
