  • 🥄 1 Large stirring spoon or Spatula

  • 🛹 1 Cutting board & Knife

  • 🧤 1 Oven mitt

🛒 THE INGREDIENTS

  • 🥩 Halal Flank Steak 1 lb (3/4 kg), sliced very thin against the grain

  • 🌽 Cornstarch 1/4 cup (to coat the beef)

  • 🏺 Cooking Oil 1/3 cup (for shallow frying)

  • 🍠 Fresh Ginger 1 teaspoon (grated)

  • 🍶 Soy Sauce 1/2 cup (Low-sodium/Halal-certified)

  • 🤎 Brown Sugar 1/2 cup (to thicken and sweeten)

  • 💧 Water or Beef Broth 1/2 cup

  • 🌾 Warm White Rice 2 cups (cooked and ready to serve)

👨‍🍳 THE METHOD

  1. 🥩 Place the sliced Halal Beef into a Small bowl. Toss it with the Cornstarch until every piece is white and coated.

  2. 🥣 In a separate bowl, mix the Soy Sauce, Brown Sugar, and Water.

  3. 🔥 Put your Frying pan on the stove and turn the heat to Medium-High. Add the Cooking Oil.

  4. 🥩 Use your Oven mitt to hold the pan handle. Carefully place the beef into the hot oil.

  5. ⏲️ Fry the beef for 2 Minutes on each side until the edges look Golden and crispy.

  6. 🥄 Use your Stirring spoon to scoop the beef onto a clean plate. Pour out most of the oil, leaving just a little bit.

  7. 🧄 Add the Garlic and Ginger to the pan. Stir for 30 Seconds until it smells amazing.

  8. 🍶 Pour the Soy Sauce mix into the pan. Let it bubble and simmer for 2 Minutes until the sauce looks thick like syrup.

  9. 🥩 Put the Golden beef back into the pan. Toss it quickly for 1 Minute so every piece is covered in sauce.

  10. 🛑 Turn the stove dial to the Off position.

  11. 🍚 Scoop the beef over your Warm Rice and enjoy!

🛡️ SAFETY FIRST

  • 🥩 Thin Slicing: To make the beef easy for a toddler or senior to chew, always slice against the grain (look for the lines in the meat and cut across them).

  • 🔥 Hot Oil: The oil may pop when you add the starch-covered beef. Stand back and use a long-handled spoon to move the meat.

  • 🧤 Pan Weight: A heavy pan with hot sauce can be difficult to move. Always use an Oven mitt and two hands if you need to lift it.
