Ingredients

BEEF
1 lb round steak, sliced into thin strips
2 Tbsp shaoxing cooking wine
1/2 baking soda
ground himalayan sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste (i always use mixed peppercorns)
1/4 c cornstarch
1/2 c canola oil for frying, or more as needed
1/2 Tbsp chili oil, or more to taste
1 Tbsp ginger, minced
1 Tbsp pressed garlic
3 large green onions, white and green parts separated and cut diagonally
3 c cooked white rice
1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
SAUCE
3/4 c low-sodium beef broth
1/2 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp cornstarch

Steps:

1. Place beef strips in a large bowl and add Shaoxing wine, baking soda, salt and pepper; stir to coat and let it sit for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile make the sauce; in a medium bowl, combine beef broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and cornstarch. Whisk well to blend and set aside.
3. Half an hour later, add ¼ cup cornstarch to the beef strips; stir to coat.
4. In a heavy bottom skillet over medium heat, add ½ cup canola oil. When the temperature reaches 365ºF, working in batches, add beef strips and sear until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil. Let them sit while working with the remaining strips.
5. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp. canola oil and chili oil. When hot but not smoking, stir in ginger and garlic; sauté for 30 seconds or until they start to brown. Add white parts of green onions and sauté for 15-20 seconds before pouring in the sauce; stir to blend. Carefully add fried beef strips and stir them into the sauce until well coated and heated through. Add green parts of green onions and stir well; remove from the heat.
6. Spoon mixture over a bed of rice and sprinkle on some sesame seeds; serve immediately. Serves 4
