Crispy Shredded Beef Food

CRISPY SHREDDED ORANGE BEEF

Steps:

• For the steak: Pour about 2 inches of oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat to 350 degrees F over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, toss the steak with the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes and then toss again.
• Cook the steak in batches until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to a plate with a mesh spider and set aside.
• For the sauce: Combine the chili sauce, orange juice and soy sauce in another large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir and simmer until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the steak to the saucepan and stir to coat in the sauce.
• Serve the orange beef with cooked rice, garnish with the scallions and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

CRISPY SHREDDED BEEF

Steps:

• Beat together eggs, salt and cornflour. Mix in the beef until well coated.
• Heat oil to 180C and deep-fry the beef strips, adding them individually. Leave them ten seconds before stirring, to prevent them sticking together.
• Cook for 6-7 minutes until brown and crispy. Don't overload the pan or they will end up soggy.
• As the beef cooks, remove it and drain on kitchen paper.
• Using a little of the frying oil, stir fry the carrot, onion, garlic and chilli. Add the sugar, vinegar, chilli sauce and soy sauce and mix.
• Add the beef and toss together.
