Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds beef top round steak, cut into thin slices
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 carrots, cut into matchstick-size pieces
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 5 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Stir beef and eggs together in a bowl. Whisk cornstarch and water together; stir into beef mixture.

Step 2
Pour oil 2 to 3 inches deep in a wok; heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook beef strips in oil, working in batches, until brown and crisp, about 4 minutes; remove to drain and keep warm. Repeat with remaining beef.

Step 3
Heat sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat; stir in carrots, green onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir soy sauce, white vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes into vegetable mixture; bring to a boil. Stir beef strips into vegetables; sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Cook’s Note:

It is easier to slice beef thinly when it is partially frozen.
