Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 pounds beef (loin, sirloin, tenderloin) (- cut into thin strips)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • 1 clove garlic (- finely minced)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 big carrots (- julienned)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
  • green onion and sesame seeds (- for garnishing)

Instruction

  • Combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ground pepper, and garlic in a bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • In a big bowl, toss together beef strips and cornstarch until all sides of the meat are fully covered.
  • In a wok or saute pan, heat oil over high. Add in beef slices and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook so the beef remains tender. If the pan is too small, do this in two batches. Remove the beef from oil and set aside.
  • In the same pan with oil, pour the liquid mixture and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce is reduced and becomes thicker.
  • Add the pre-cooked beef and carrots and cook for another minute or two just to let the flavor seep in.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion and serve with rice.
