Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp five-spice powder
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup steamed bok choy or broccoli florets
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine sliced flank steak with 2 tbsp soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in batches and fry until crispy and browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, black vinegar, sugar, and five-spice powder. Cook and stir for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Return the crispy beef to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for another minute to heat through.
  6. Serve the beef over cooked jasmine rice with steamed bok choy or broccoli on the side.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For extra crunch, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or add sliced fresh chili for heat. This dish pairs well with a side of pickled vegetables.
