 Dragon Beef



This may not be the authentic Dragon Beef, but this how I make Dragon Beef! This Indo-Chinese dish has tangy flavors and slight sweetness from the ketchup and the spiciness from the chilli sauce combines to make this exceptional dish so delicious! I love how easily the recipe comes together. A perfect side dish/ appetizer that makes everyone wanting for more.

This recipe can be made using chicken as well. The main ingredient that gives it an extra crunch is the addition of fried cashews. Do give it a try and serve immediately !

Ingredients :



  • 250 gms Boneless Beef, thin strips
  • 1/4 Cup each Red, green and yellow Bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 Cup Onion, sliced
  • 4-5 Garlic cloves, chopped finely
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • Salt, as required
  • 1/2 tsp white and black pepper powder
  • 15 Cashews, fried and split into half
  • 4-5 Dry Red Chillies
  • 1 tsp Chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 4-5 tbsp Tomato Ketchup
  • Salt
  • Sugar, a pinch
  • Spring Onion, to garnish
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Sesame seeds*

Batter:

  • 3 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 3 tbsp Corn Flour
  • Baking powder, a pinch
  • Salt, as required
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper powder
  • 1 egg
 

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl add all the ingredients mentioned under "batter". Mix well and set aside.
  2. Marinate the beef strips with salt, soy sauce and black pepper powder.
  3. Now add the batter to the marinated meat, combine well.
  4. In a fry pan, slightly fry the cashews until golden, drain and set aside.
  5. In the same oil and pan, fry the beef strips coated in batter individually, without overcrowding for around 6-7 minutes, no more or less. 
  6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the crispy fried beef to an oil straining rack. 
  7. Transfer excess oil to a jar and without around 2 tbsp oil in the pan/wok add in the finely chopped garlic.
  8. Once fragrant, break the dry red Chillies and add them in. 
  9. Sauté well and add the sliced onion and once translucent add in the cashews.
  10. Next add in all your sauces, salt, sugar and saute well.
  11. Next add in the fried cashews, spring onion and the bell peppers. 

  12. Toss everything well on high heat and add in your crispy beef and give one final toss and immediately serve them on your serving platter and garnish with chopped spring onion and sesame seeds.

 Crispy Beef Chilly



Indo Chinese is one of my favorite cuisines. This Crispy Beef chilly is everything.. Goes well with Noodles, fried rice etc. On lazy days I even have it with Khubz (Arabic pita bread). Unlike the South Indian version of beef chilly, the beef is not pressure cooked rather made into very thin long strips and fried raw with corn flour, all purpose flour, salt pepper and egg to help coat the beef strips well.

I have always been asked why I fry the beef without cooking it first , this method ensures all the juices from the beef are stored well within, and the flavors from the beef does not dim away. Think of it as a steak, similarly, the beef strips are fried raw (preferably deep fried) but I do not like to waste oil that has the residue of the flours in it, so I shallow fry the battered beef strips. Do not cook the beef strips more than 5-6 minutes as the beef would turn chewy.

The condiments, other than the condiments that I mentioned here, sometimes I like to add green Chilli sauce too and maybe a dash of white pepper powder. As soy sauce is concentrated with salt, be careful not to add too much of salt, either in the batter or in the final stage. Once the dish is done, serve immediately as the coating of the beef absorbs the moisture from the sauce, and makes the beef not so crispy. If you want to serve the dish at a later time, prepare the sauce and the beef and set aside, and combine only at the time of serving.

Crispy Beef Chilli is one of husband's favorites. Now that everyone has their sacrificial meat from Eid AL Adha, do give this recipe a try. You can never go wrong with this dish, it's super delicious 😋

Ingredients : (Makes for 3- 4 people)



  • 350 gms Boneless Beef, sliced to thin strips
  • 6-7 Garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 inch Ginger, finely minced
  • 1 large Onion, cubed
  • 1/2 of a large Capsicum, cubed
  • 1 Red Chili Pepper, sliced
  • 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 3 tbsp Corn Flour + 1 tsp Corn flour for slurry
  • 1 Egg, large
  • Salt, as required
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper, crused
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chilli Flakes
  • Vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tsp Red Chilli paste/ any red Chilli sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper, crushed
  • 1 tbsp White Vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • Salt, if required
  • 3 tbsp water, for slurry 
  • Spring onions , chopped, for garnishing 
  • Sesame seeds, for garnishing 

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, add in your beef strips, all purpose flour, corn flour, egg, crushed black pepper and salt. Combine well, to coat the beef strips.  


  2. In an Iron Kadai/ wok, pour the vegetable oil to shallow fry the beef, for no more than 5-6 minutes.
  3. Strain the crispy beef strips from oil and keep aside, let's prepare the sauce.
  4. For the sauce, in the same wok, add more oil if required, add in the minced garlic and ginger. Saute on medium high for 10 seconds and immediately add the cubed onion, and saute well for 2-3 minutes on high flame.

  5. Now add the cubed Capsicum and mix well for 1 minute.
