  • Sliced Beef Strips
  • Carrots
  • Onion
  • Bell peppers
  • Scallions
  • Sesame oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Brown sugar
  • Soda bicarbonate
  • Garlic
  • Salt and pepper
  • Ginger
  • Oyster sauce
  • Cornstarch
  • Chilli flakes
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Before making the beef stir fry, you need to first tenderize the beef with baking soda or sodium bicarbonate. Then you need to mix the beef strips with some baking soda with the help of the tongs or with your hands and keep it in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes. After that, rinse the beef well and drain the water extracted from the meat and dry it with paper towel.
    This process is known as velveting the beef, this helps the meat become more tender, and allows for spices to absorb better
  • Pour the sauce in a bowl, add some water (two tablespoons), and add some cornstarch. This makes the sauce thicker and will make the entire meal taste better. Just make sure to mix the cornstarch and water separately so that no lumps form.
  • This step is for marinating the beef strips. 
    You need  ⅓ of the sauce prepared earlier to mix in with the beef. Once mixed, store it in an airtight container, and then put it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes or overnight for better results.
    Note: In some cases, if you want, you can keep the beef strips for upto three months! This process makes the beef strips more tender to give you a fantastic experience.
  • Use a pan and add some oil. You can use a wok as well if you are comfortable with that. Once the oil is hot, add some garlic and ginger and fry until they turn light brown. Take the marinated beef, put it in the pan, and cook it until the texture and color changes to light brown and the meat is slightly undercooked. We don’t want it to be fully cooked.
  • Now add the other vegetables and the remaining cornstarch and cook for more than 20 minutes. Now add some rice vinegar and the remaining sauce, cook it for 30 minutes more. 

Notes
