Beijing Beef

Healthy Fact of the Day

Use lean beef cuts and pan-fry in less oil or air-fry the beef for a lighter take. Add extra bell peppers or swap in broccoli for more fiber and nutrients.

This Beijing Beef brings all the bold, tangy flavors of your favorite takeout dish straight to your kitchen in under 30 minutes. Thinly sliced beef is crisped to perfection, then tossed with colorful bell peppers and onions in a zesty sauce that balances soy, vinegar, and just the right amount of chili heat. It’s the kind of restaurant-quality dish that proves homemade can be better than delivery.

If you love bold Asian flavors, you’ll also enjoy our Korean BBQ Pork for another sweet and savory protein option. For more quick takeout-style dishes, try our Hoison Beef Noodles or Banh Mi Meatballs—both deliver that same satisfying combination of authentic flavors and easy preparation.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound beef sirloin

    • 0.5 cup cornstarch

    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

    • 1 tablespoon sugar

    • 0.25 cup vinegar

    • 1 large red bell pepper

    • 1 large onion

    • 2 cloves garlic

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    • 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes

    Directions

    • Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about a quarter-inch thick, which helps the meat cook faster and absorb flavors.
    • In a medium-sized bowl, coat the beef strips with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is well-covered to get the desired crispiness.
    • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir-fry the beef for about 5 minutes until browned and crispy.
    • In another medium bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and chili flakes to create a tangy, slightly spicy sauce for the beef.
    • Add sliced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the beef and continue to stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until veggies soften.
    • Pour the sauce mixture over the sautéed beef and vegetables, stirring well to coat, then cook for another 3 minutes until thickened.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
