At some point in our lives, we’ve all fallen victim to ordering a takeaway instead of cooking (maybe more than we’d like to admit). Somewhere along the line or ordering takeaways, or even eating out, we made the assumption that it tasted so good we will never be able to recreate it at home. Until now.
Our crispy chilli beef recipe is the perfect fakeaway recipe to give you the same taste as your favourite Chinese takeaway without the need for skill. Our simple step recipe has all the perfect flavours to create the best crispy chilli beef.
For a true fakeaway experience, crispy chilli beef works wonders with rice, whether its egg fried rice, chicken fried rice, boiled rice or even yeung chow fried rice. Maybe even try it with noodles with a side of prawn crackers.
Crispy Chilli Beef doesn’t have to be made with sirloin steak, but we recommend it. The dish works best with thinly sliced cuts of steak.
Some alternative cuts that can work well include flank or bavette steak, skirt steak, or even thinly sliced ribeye.
Cooked beef will last between 3-4 days in the fridge and should be consumed within 4 days. Although we think this dish is so tasty you won’t have any leftovers!
