Beijing Beef (TENDER BEEF!)

Beijing Beef (TENDER BEEF!)

We are making another CLASSIC recipe that hits the spot every single time!

Beijing Beef is one of my go-to orders whenever I order Chinese Takeout. Beijing Beef with a side of chow mein is the perfect combination that is super easy to make at home.

With a few simple tips, I promise you will get tender Beef guaranteed every single time!

Make this restaurant-quality Beijing Beef for the perfect weeknight dinner. 

Stir-fry Ingredients

You will need soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, black pepper, and sugar for the delicious restaurant-quality glaze in Beijing Beef.

I am doing the classic stir-fry with onion, garlic, ginger, and red pepper, but you can also add in other vegetables of your choice.

I’ve made Beijing Beef stir-fry with baby corn, broccoli, and green pepper before, and it tasted amazing! 

Beijing Beef (TENDER BEEF!)

Here are a few secrets to SUPER TENDER Beijing Beef every single time! 

  1. The first one is baking soda. 

I got this secret from a good friend who works at a Chinese restaurant; it is honestly a game-changer. No more eating tough beef at home, and hello to juicy, tender, silky beef! 

  1. The second tip is cutting against the grain and diagonally. 

Always cut against the grain and sideways to get thin slices. With this tip, it doesn’t matter what type of steak you get; it will turn out perfect every time! 

  1. The final tip is to freeze the beef for 10 minutes before you slice it. This step will make it 100x easier to cut the meat.
Chinese stir-fry

I am deep frying the beef slices today to make them extra tender; however, you can also pan-fry the meat.

The corn starch and egg white will also tenderize the meat and prevent it from becoming chewy or tough when cooking. I recommend pan-frying the beef versus air-frying as you have better control of the texture.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.

I am SO excited to FINALLY share with you, after a I am SO excited to FINALLY share with you, after almost two years of hard work … my brand: kai dong! Even typing this caption right now … it still feels so surreal, and I just want to start off by saying a huge thank you for supporting me and making my dream come true. Without you, there wouldn’t be this brand. Thank you so so much for trusting me and my recipes … and I am so excited to share with you what I’ve been working on for the past two years … 

A year ago today, I shared that I was starting my own brand from scratch. It is not a brand deal, not a collab, not something I just slapped my name on. This is a product line I can proudly say was developed from the ground up, and we spent months perfecting every little detail. I wanted to make sure that it was something that YOU would love. 

Rather than creating just an instant noodle brand, I wanted to create a line where, within 5 products, you can create MULTIPLE different recipes, from the perfect bowl of spicy garlic noodles to my grandma’s soul-warming wonton soup. These products can instantly transform any dish with easy-to-follow recipes! I even made a free e-book with 12 recipes so we can all cook together at home! 

The most special part about this brand … is the chance to share a piece of my culture with you. I decided to fly back to my home to find the perfect ingredients for every item in the kai dong line! Every product was sourced and developed from Taiwan to ensure we deliver the incredible flavors of Asia straight to your kitchen! From Yilan’s famous scallions to the best hand-cut sun-dried noodles I’ve ever had. It was so important to me to share a piece of my culture and give you the same feeling I felt every time I slurped a bowl of noodles in Asia. 

We edited 300 hours of footage into a 20-minute documentary, sharing everything from start to finish and also giving you a sneak peak of the product line. I am hosting a giveaway there, so please, please, please make sure to go check it out :) 

kai dong means let’s eat … and I hope you are ready to eat! 

Love, 

Tiffy
