Ingredients

  • 300 g Beef steak ( ribeye, sirloin or any tender steak )
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup Corn/potato flour ( starch )
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • ½ Sweet onion
  • ½ Bell Pepper

Beef Marinade

  • 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Ginger paste
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • ¼ tsp Baking soda

Seasonings spice ingredients

  • ½ tsp Salt ( or salt to taste )
  • ½ tsp Black pepper powder
  • ¼ tsp Chinese five spices powder ( see in note )
  • ¼ tsp Chicken powder ( optional ) ( see in note )

Instructions

  • First of all cut the beef into thin strips. In a large bowl, mix the beef strips evenly with the beef marinate ingredients. Set aside and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Prepare the vegetables by cut the vegetables into thin slices.
  • In a small bowl, mix all the seasoning ingredients evenly for later use.
  • Break one egg in the marinated beef strips, mix it well.
  • Coat each beef strips with corn flour. Make sure all beef strips are coated well and separated. Toss the excess flour out before frying.
  • Heat the oil into high heat about 350° F. Add the beef strips and deep fry for1-2 minutes until the coating is crispy.
  • Remove from oil and transfer to paper towel or cooling rack.
  • Heat the wok/pan into medium high heat. Drizzle a tablespoon of oil, add the garlic slices and stir for 5 seconds, then add the onion and pepper slices. Toss for 1 min then all the beef strips back in. Sprinkle the seasoning spices and toss well for 1 minute to combine all ingredients.
  • Transfer to serving plate and serve immediately!
  • I usually have this dish with fried rice, steamed rice or stir fry noodles or just perfect on its own as a savoury snack.

Notes

  • If you want to take exactly like the Chinese restaurants and takeaway you can add chicken powder in the seasoning but that is totally optional. 
  • Chinese five spices is a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, star anise, fennel seeds and Sichuan peppercorns powder. You can buy Chinese five spice in most Oriental/Chinese grocery stores.
