Instructions

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Toss the cubed beef in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until lightly and evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat with a thin layer of neutral oil. Once smoking, add the beef in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) to avoid overcrowding.
  2. Sear the beef undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a dark, crispy crust on one side, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the dried red chilies to the pan, then pour the sauce mixture over the beef.
  4. Toss rapidly for 60 seconds as the sauce bubbles and glazes the beef cubes into a sticky consistency.
  5. Remove from heat immediately and serve hot.
  6. Optional: garnish with scallion ribbons and toasted sesame seeds.

Chef's notes

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 3

Pat the beef cubes extremely dry with paper towels before tossing in cornstarch; moisture is the enemy of the 'hard sear' required for crisp edges.

Tip 2 of 3

Use a screaming hot cast iron or carbon steel skillet to ensure the beef sears rather than steams.

Tip 3 of 3

If you want even more heat, crush the dried red chilies directly into the hot oil before adding the beef to infuse the oil.
