How to make Shredded Crispy Chilli Beef at Home! Easy and tasty!!!

In this video, I will show you in easy steps how to make the Chinese takeaway favourite, crispy chilli beef. Using mostly store cupboard ingredients and items you can easily get at supermarkets, you can make this delicious dish in your own home.

You will need:
1) Some beef - I’ve been using a portion cut from a roasting joint. Steak works if you’ve got it but it’s a bit of an overkill for this recipe. Around 300g will serve 2-3 people I think.
2) The Marinade 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of sugar
3) An egg
4) A couple of cloves of garlic, half a thumb of ginger, 1-2 chillis depending on how hot you like it, a quarter of an onion
5) The batter - Cornflour 200/300g, a large pinch of salt and pepper
6) The Sauce - 3 tablespoons of vinegar (most types will do except balsamic), 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey/syrup (sugar will do), 3 tablespoons of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of brown sauce
You will need a wok or a deep sided frying pan, a large saucepan for deep frying or a deep fat fryer. A large mixing bowl.
Enough cooking oil to deep fry the beef (NOT olive oil or sesame oil).

I wish I would have came across this channel earlier! I like the rustic ness and how you didn’t rush the cooking process.

I made it today, and hats off to the Chef - it was well tasty! Better than the crispy chilli beef takeaway from our local! Will definitely make it again! Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe. 😋

I have made your recipe a few times as my family love, my daughter said it is better than the one from our local Chinese takeaway and they have been making for 50 years, you cannot get a better recommendation than that and so easy to make with watching your video.

I will try this recipe but using spring onions instead of onion, and Hoisin sauce for the "Brown sauce". I am looking forward to buy ingredients as this "Special kind of hunger" can only be satisfied with food like this. And the fact that this dish isn't the healthiest is as you say quite obvious, but at the same time this is nothing you cook every day so i don't think that people should worry if they want to eat these kind of dishes once in a while but rather just enjoy it as much as possible when the time comes.
Thanks for the inspiration, well done!
😀🙂

I used to have this every weekend in UK before I moved to Australia, can't get this in any restaurants here in Perth, so I'm going to cook it myself

Not many people know double deep fry would make the beef super crispy. Your cooking skill is the best. 👍👍

[jampotter]

Fantastic. Your also a great tutor to follow along. Made this. This evening and was the best I've had. Defiantly be trying more of your recipes

[lhoang]

This is the dish for all Chinese takeaways. Definitely going to try this recipe! I was worried that it was difficult to make. Big thumbs up! 👍🏼

[davidnewell]

I absolutely love this dish and am now gonna try and making it myself

[pattiboychannel]

Made your Chilli beef from your video and it was delicious ....Thank's Lau!😋😋😋 Trying to send a photo but a'm an old Guy!

I made a bloomer! But have now learned to put the floured meat into the hot oil immediately instead of leaving it in the bowl as I did as it all soaked in. Lesson learned. I also have a mental block when it comes to using beef even though it was tender. BUT the sauce was good and I will use pork or chicken as a replacement next time. TY for another wonderful recipe x
