Provided by Joyce | Pups with Chopsticks

Categories     Asian     Main     Takeout

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

1.5 lbs top sirloin steak ((any type of beef works - flank steak, skirt steak))
1 cup potato starch
oil (for deep frying) ((see notes, for type of oil))
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
4-5 slices ginger ((sliced thin, 2-3 mm))
1 tablespoon light soy sauce ((reduced sodium))
3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons light soy sauce ((reduced sodium))
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon shaoxing cooking wine
5 teaspoons corn starch
6 teaspoons water
1-2 stalks green onion (chopped)
toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Slice the steak into 1 cm wide strips and place it in a bowl. (If your steak is more than 1 cm thick, cut the strips in half again length-wise)
  • In a food processor, blitz the onion, garlic, and ginger until it is a paste. (If you do not have a food processor, you can grate them or chop it very finely by hand, just make sure the ginger bits are very tiny)
  • Add the marinade and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the beef and mix well and marinate it in the fridge for 1 hour (or 20-30 minutes at room temperature)
  • After the beef has marinated, dust 1/2 cup of potato starch (or corn starch) on the beef and use your fingers to loosely coat the beef with it. Let it sit for 10 minutes
  • While you are waiting for the meat to marinate, heat up a heavy bottom pot (or wok) and set the stove to medium heat. Add at least 1 inch of oil to the pot and wait for it to get hot. (It should reach a temperature of 375F). I like to poke a wooden chopstick, or the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil and wait for it to bubble. Once it bubbles, the oil is hot enough.
  • Once the beef has marinated for 10 minutes, dust the other 1/2 cup of potato starch (or corn starch) on the beef again to lightly re-coat the beef and lightly dust off any excess starch. Deep fry it immediately.
  • Using your fingers separate the beef if they are clumped together and deep fry it in the oil in small batches (make sure the oil is hot but not smoking - to test if the oil is hot enough, add 1 small piece of beef first and see if it instantly sizzles)
  • Deep fry the beef for 1-2 minutes, and remove it from the pot onto a plate with parchment paper or newspaper.
  • Once all the beef has been cooked once (first fry), add all of it back in for the second deep fry for 1 more minute.
  • Remove all the oil from the pot and set it back on the stove on medium low heat
  • Add in all the sauce ingredients, except the corn starch slurry ingredients.
  • Stir until everything is combined well and wait until it comes to a low rolling boil
  • In a small bowl, combine the corn starch and cold water to make a corn starch slurry and add it into the sauce and keep stirring until the sauce has thickened. Turn off the heat.
  • Add in the crispy beef and coat it with the sauce
  • Serve immediately! Goes amazing with plain rice. :)

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the apples in a single layer so that they can brown properly.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch: You don't want them to become mushy.
  • Use a good quality beef: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Season the beef well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the beef until it is browned and cooked through: You don't want it to be pink in the middle.
  • Serve the beef and apples over rice or noodles: This will make a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Crunchy apple beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. The combination of sweet apples and savory beef is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
