Ingredients
  

  • 450 g beef shoulder or flank steak sliced into thin strips (about 3mm thick)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine optional
  • a pinch black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2-3 teaspoons sambal chili sauce
  • ½ cup potato or corn starch
  • ½-⅔ cup oil for frying
  • 5-7 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ onion diced
  • ¼ red bell pepper diced

Equipment

  • Wire rack for draining
  • Slotted spoon
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix the beef slices with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and a pinch of black pepper. Let it marinate.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, and sambal chili sauce.
  3. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet to 180°C (350°F).
  4. Coat marinated beef slices with starch and fry them in oil until golden and crispy, about 6-7 minutes.
  5. Remove most of the oil from the wok, keeping about 2 tablespoons.
  6. Sauté garlic, onion, and red bell pepper in the wok for about a minute.
  7. Pour in the sauce and let it simmer for 30 seconds, then add the fried beef and mix until coated.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double-fry the beef by letting it cool for a few minutes after the first fry and frying again briefly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat gently in a skillet. For a healthier twist, try baking the beef instead of frying or substitute beef with tofu or tempeh for a vegan version. Slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness and use fresh ingredients for best results. Enjoy!
