Ingredients 

  • 1 pound skirt steak, thinly sliced (flank steak or beef tenderloin can also be used) 
  • 1 cup cornstarch 
  • Use 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, with additional oil for frying as needed. 
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced 
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce 
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar 
  • ¼ cup honey 
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt 
  • ¼ teaspoon dried red chili flakes (optional) 
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional) 
  • ½ tablespoon sesame seeds 
  • ¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced 

Instructions 

  1. Prepare the Beef: 
  • Slice the skirt steak thinly against the grain for tender pieces. 
  • Coat the beef slices evenly with cornstarch, shaking off any excess. 
  1. Fry the Beef: 
  • Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. 
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated beef slices in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. 
  • Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. 
  1. Make the Sauce: 
  • In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. 
  • Saute the minced garlic until it becomes fragrant, approximately 1 minute. 
  • Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ground black pepper, salt, and dried red chili flakes (if using). Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. 
  1. Combine Beef and Sauce: 
  • Add the crispy beef slices to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. 
  • If desired, stir in the sesame oil for extra flavor. 
  1. Serve: 
  • Transfer the honey garlic beef to a serving dish. 
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions for garnish.
