Panda Express Beijing Beef Copycat Recipes

PANDA EXPRESS BEIJING BEEF

Steps:

• Cut the flank steak against the grain into thin 1/4 inch slices.
• In a medium sized bowl add the beef, egg, salt and 1 teaspoon cornstarch and let marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
• To make the Beijing Beef Sauce, in a small bowl whisk together the 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, ketchup, hoisin, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sweet chili sauce, crushed red peppers and apple cider vinegar.
• After the beef has finishing marinating add 2 tablespoons cornstarch to a bowl, add the marinated beef (discard the extra marinade).
• Heat a small saucepan with the oil on medium-high (I use a small saucepan so that I can get a deep fry on this without using a lot of oil. So I fry in small batches, if you don't mind using more oil, go for a bigger pot and you can fry these up much faster).
• With the last two tablespoons of cornstarch toss the beef one last time and shake off any excess cornstarch.
• Fry the slices, in batches, until golden brown (2-3 minutes).
• Heat a large pan on high heat and use two tablespoons of the oil you just fried the beef in.
• Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it just starts caramelizing on the edges.
• Add the garlic in and continue to cook a few more seconds until fragrant.
• Remove the veggies and put them with the beef on a plate.
• Add the Beijing Beef sauce to the large pan and cook on high until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the beef and vegetables into the sauce and toss to combine.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the marinade ingredients (beaten egg, salt, water, cornstarch). Add the sliced beef and mix until smooth. Cover with cling film and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
• In a small bowl, combine the Beijing Beef sauce ingredients (water, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, sugar, hoisin sauce, ketchup, oyster sauce, sweet chili sauce). Mix Beijing sauce until smooth, then set aside.
• Heat your wok, large skillet or frying pan with oil at medium high heat. Place 6 tablespoons of cornstarch into a medium size bowl and coat marinated beef with cornstarch. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Transfer the coated beef to the heated wok and fry beef until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Use tongs to turn the beef as needed, to brown all sides of the cut pieces.
• Remove the cooked beef from the wok and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Remove any debris in the cooking oil and increase the temperature to cook on high heat.
• Stir fry the sliced peppers and onions until they reach your desired level of tenderness, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
• Transfer the cooked peppers and onions to the plate that the beef is set aside on.
• Add the Beijing sauce to the wok, cooking on high until it comes to a boil and thickens. This should take between 3-5 minutes.
• Once the sauce has thickened, return the beef and vegetables. Stir until well coated with the Beijing sauce and the beef is heated through. Serve immediately.
