Sesame Beef
loading...
X
Sesame beef is a Chinese dish of crispy beef, tossed in a lightly sweet sauce with balanced acidity, toasted sesame oil, and sesame seeds.
PREP: 1 hr 30 mins.
COOK: 15 mins
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS FOR SESAME BEEF:
This recipe has the minimum of what we think is required for a great sesame beef. But there are a few above-and-beyond extras you can add in to suit your own tastes:
* Minced ginger - just before adding the garlic
* Whole dried red chilies - toast in oil just before adding the garlic
* Crushed dried red chilies if you like the heat - toast in oil just before adding the garlic
* Pinch of five spice powder, if you like to have some extra flavour - add to the sauce mixture
* More scallions - some people just love green onions!
On the flipside, I would recommend resisting the urge to add vegetables to this dish, as they will disturb the texture of the sesame beef, introducing water content that will make your beef less crispy.
