Crispy Chili Beef

Ingredients:

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced

1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix cornstarch, flour, salt, and pepper. Coat the beef slices in the mixture.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated beef slices until crispy and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Set aside.

In the same skillet, remove excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add garlic and ginger, sauté until fragrant.

Add bell peppers and stir-fry until tender.

Return the crispy beef to the skillet, pour the sauce mixture over, and toss to coat evenly.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is well coated and heated through.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
