Ingredients for Asian Fire Beef

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

How to Make Asian Fire Beef

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 minced cloves garlic, and 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1 cup sliced leeks, and 1 cup shredded carrots.
  3. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak recommended) to the bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands to ensure even coating.
  4. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the marinated beef and its marinade to the hot wok. Stir-fry constantly for 3-5 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly charred.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
  8. **Optional Korean Style:** For a Korean twist, serve the fire beef wrapped in red lettuce leaves.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
