Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

  5. 5

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your General Tao's Beef over rice or noodles!
