Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 2 cups cooked rice, preferably day-old
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • mixing bowl
  • Slotted spoon
  • cutting board
  • sharp knife

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss the beef slices with the cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
  3. Working in batches if necessary, add the beef to the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until crispy and golden brown. Transfer the crispy beef to a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium, and add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  5. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  6. Add the cooked rice and the crispy beef back to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For best results, use day-old rice to ensure the perfect texture. Thinly slicing the beef against the grain and coating it in cornstarch before searing are the keys to achieving a crispy exterior. This dish can be served as a main course or as part of a larger Asian-inspired meal.
