Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season and coat:<\/strong> Place the beef in a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the cornstarch and flour, then toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the sauce:<\/strong> In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, and water. Stir until well combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fry the beef:<\/strong> Heat about 1\/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the beef in small batches for about 2\u20133 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the cooked beef to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook the vegetables:<\/strong> Carefully remove most of the oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2\u20133 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the sauce:<\/strong> Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir and cook for about 1\u20132 minutes, until the sauce becomes hot and glossy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine:<\/strong> Add the crispy beef back to the skillet. Toss quickly to coat the beef evenly in the sticky sauce. Cook for about 30\u201360 seconds so the beef remains crispy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garnish and serve:<\/strong> Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed white rice, jasmine rice, or noodles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Tips for the Crispiest Beef<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Slice the beef very thinly and cut against the grain for a tender texture.<\/li>\n<li>Pat the beef completely dry before coating it.<\/li>\n<li>Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.<\/li>\n<li>Fry the beef in batches for the best crispy texture.<\/li>\n<li>Add the beef to the sauce at the very end and toss quickly.<\/li>\n<li>For extra heat, add fresh sliced chilies or additional chili flakes.<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately with hot steamed rice for the best texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crispy Chilli Beef at Home Golden, crispy beef strips tossed in a sticky sweet chili garlic sauce with colorful peppers&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7784"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7786,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7784\/revisions\/7786"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
