Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound of beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup of flour
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Slice the meat thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic, mixing until evenly coated.
  3. Let the meat marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Prepare the coating by placing flour in one shallow dish and beaten eggs in another shallow dish.
  5. Dip each marinated meat slice into the beaten eggs, then dredge in flour to coat evenly.
  6. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat (about 375°F) until shimmering.
  7. Fry the coated meat slices in batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the meat jun from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving.

Notes

Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy exterior but avoid burning.
