GARLIC GINGER BEEF APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Slice the steak into very thin strips (1/8 to 1/4 inch) against the grain.
• Put strips in a bowl and add beaten eggs, salt and cornstarch and mix well until the meat is well coated (use your hands for this).
• In a heavy skillet add cooking oil (1 inch) and heat on medium-high heat until oil reaches 360 degrees F.
• Carefully lay strips in a single layer in the hot oil- not too many as it will cause the oil to cool and the meat will end up absorbing too much oil.
• Fry until crisp which should only take about 60 to 90 seconds.
• Remove and drain on a rack.
• Repeat until all the meat strips are done.
• In a saucepan, add water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Gently swirl the pan to dissolve the sugar- do not stir.
• Boil until the mixture begins to caramelize to a light golden brown.
• Remove from the heat and gently stir in the garlic, ginger and chili flakes for 10 seconds then add the ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and hoisin sauce.
• Return the pot to the heat and bring to a boil then gently simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the drained meat slices and warm through.
• Serve the warm strips on a platter sprinkled with the slice green onion.
