Sticky Honey Garlic Beef Recipe Tips:
- I like to use flank steak for this recipe, cut it into strips across the grain. Make sure you use high quality and fresh meat.
- Use freshly grated ginger, it will add amazing flavor to the meal.
- Also, make sure the oil is hot prior to frying. The best way to test if the oil is hot, add a small piece of beef into it. It should sizzle right away. This way you know it’s ready to fry.
- You can use more or less garlic in this recipe, based on your preference.
- Red pepper flakes – you can use more if you would like the meal to be spicier.
- If you don’t have sesame oil on hand, use canola or vegetable oil.
- Similarly, if you don’t have hot Chinese mustard on hand, you can skip it.
- Worcestershire sauce will enhance the beef flavor, I recommend using it.
- The Sticky Orange Beef is best served over rice with veggies on the side.
