Crispy Chili Beef Rice Flavorful Dinner Delight
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 number red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 number green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- to taste salt and pepper
- to taste scallions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and beef broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Toss the marinated beef with cornstarch until well-coated. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until just tender but still crisp.
- Add the crispy beef back to the skillet with the peppers. Stir everything together and sauté for another minute to combine the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Place a generous scoop of the fluffy jasmine rice on a plate, then top with the crispy chili beef mixture.
