INGREDIENTS: – 1 pound flank steak, cut in thin strips. (Pasanday in Urdu). You can also use skirt steak or undercut beef.
– Marinate beef in 1 tspn salt, 1 tspn black pepper, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (dark works best), 2 tablespoons corn flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 5-6 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
– 1 tbspn grated ginger.
– 3-4 green/red chillies, stem off. Keep whole if hot, slit if mild.
– 2 dried red chilies
– 1 small onion, thick sliced.
– 1/2 bell pepper, thick sliced.
– Spring onions, thin julienne cut.
– 1 tspn sesame seeds.
– Stirfry sauce: 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 chicken cube, 1 teaspoon sambal olek (use any chilli garlic sauce or sriracha if not available).
– 1 tablespoon corn starch mixed in room temperature water
– 1 to 1/2 cup HOT water. (Add more if you need more gravy)
METHOD: – Marinate meat and set aside for 30 minutes
– Heat up a wok or wide pan. I love using the @hexclad wok + pan – just look at the sear in the meat 🔥
– Fry the beef in batches, making sure to not overcrowd. 3-4 minutes is more than enough on each side. Just get a nice sear, it will finish cooking in the sauce. Remove the meat.
– In the same pan, add oil if needed. Add garlic, and chilies. Sauté until fragrant.
– Add onions and bell pepper. Stir fry on high heat. 1-2 minutes.
– Add beef, toss, and add sauce.
– Add the corn flour slurry and HOT water, bring to a rolling boil, cover and cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
– Garnish with spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.
