Let’s Cook It Up!

Step 1: Prep the Beef

1. Toss the beef slices in cornstarch until they’re all coated. Let them sit for 10 minutes while you get your sauce ready.

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, red pepper flakes, and water. Set aside.

Step 2: Sizzle the Beef

1. Heat the oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the beef in batches and cook until crispy (about 2-3 minutes per side). Take them out and set them on a plate.

1. In the same skillet, toss in the garlic for like 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce and let it bubble up for 2 minutes.
2. Add the beef back and mix it all up. Toss in the green onions. Boom, the beef is done!

Step 3: Fried Rice Time!

1. In a big pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them.
2. Toss in the peas and carrots, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the rice, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Stir it all together and fry for 5 minutes.
