If you have beef and carrots on hand, try this easy, healthy, and delicious stir fry. It is a basic Chinese home-cooked dish that almost all kids grew up eating in China. This dish is easy and doesn’t require any special ingredients. It is also a good recipe to get your kids eating carrots because they absorb lots of flavors from the beef, and the taste becomes savory.
Ingredients
To marinate the beef
340g / 12 oz beef
1/3 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of white pepper (Amazon Link –
1 tsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link –
1/3 tsp of baking soda
1 tbsp oil to coat the beef
For the stir-fry sauce
1.5 tbsp of light soy sauce (Amazon Link –
1 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link –
1 tsp of brown sugar (Amazon Link –
1/2 tsp of five-spice powder (Amazon Link –
Others:
340g / 12 oz carrots
2.5 tbsp of oil to stir fry
5 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
3 scallions, cut into stalks
2 dried red chilies
Instructions
Slice the beef into 1/4-inch thick slabs, stack the slabs together, and thinly julienne them into strips. Recommend cuts: beef mock tender, flank steak, chuck, and sirloin.
Marinade the beef with 1/3 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of white pepper, 1 tsp of dark soy sauce, and 1/3 tsp of baking soda to tenderize the meat. Mix well. Drizzle in some cooking oil and stir to coat the beef. This will separate the meat strips so they don’t tangle together when stir-frying. Set it aside for 15 minutes.
Peel the carrots, cut them into 1/8-inch thick slabs, then thinly julienne them.
Besides that, slice 5 cloves garlic thinly; cut 3 scallions into stalks; cut a few dried red chilies into diagonal strips using a pair of scissors.
Put together the following seasonings into a bowl: 1.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1 tsp of brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp of five spice powder. Mix well.
Turn the heat to high and heat the wok until smoking hot. Add oil and swirl it around to coat the bottom.
Add the marinated beef and spread it out. Carefully loosen the strips so they don’t tangle together. Stir over high heat for 2 minutes or until nicely charred.
Remove the beef from the wok. Make sure you tilt the wok so you can leave the excess oil behind.
Add the garlic, white part of the scallion, dried red chilies, and julienned carrots. Stir over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until the carrots are slightly soft.
Introduce the beef back into the wok and pour in the seasoning sauce. Last, toss in the green part of the scallion. Mix well and serve with white rice.

Hi Mandy, you should make a video with more tips & tricks on cutting different vegetables!
Sea salt and kosher salt is better than the table salt made in a laboratory 💪
Wow! First timw to watch your vlog and your beef recipe is exactly what I need today since I have a thin slice of sirloin beef that I don't know what to do with. I am not fond of cooking but your recipe is soo simple & yet look yummieee❤.so I will try it for our dinner. Thanks for sharing your recipe and will check on your other vlogs too.🎉🎉🎉
wowww super easy and look delicious Stacey 😋
🙏❤️🙏
On a side note,. interesting that you prefer 60 frames per second instead of 30 or 24.
There is NO WAY that is only 12 oz of beef. That wok is full! That has to be at least 2lbs of beef there.
Hi Mandy, thanks so much again for a great recipe. I love your channel and have learned a lot from you so far. When I saw the picture, I was hoping for Gan Bian Beef which we all adore…would you please cook this for us sometime? Take care💐
Looks delicious!
Yesss mandy
I do stir-fry now. Because I'm on a diet. And it's really cheap. You can buy a bag now of bean sprouts, water chestnuts and mushrooms. It's about £2. And you just add meat etc.
Always find your dishes delicious and quick but my family likes alike of gravy/sauce so I have to triple your sauce ingredient.
I didn't get the same result as you, with the beef. Mine just off juiced into a puddle. I had the oil very hot, but it took me 10 or more minutes to get the meat right.
😊😊
Carrots are one of those universally liked foods. They are sweet, crunchy, and adapt easily to whatever cuisine you like. They even become desert. I’m embarrassed to admit that I did not know the whole plant is edible until a few years ago, as I was giving the carrot greens to my daughter’s horse along with the peels. They make a great pesto, they add carroty flavor to soups, and the young greens make a great addition to salads.
Mandy, My Mother and I have enjoyed your channel and content for several years now. I want to thank you for producing content that made her happy until She was called into the next life. Bless you.
This looks like beef Szechuan from my favorite Chinese restaurant. Now after watching this video, I feel comfortable making my own. I did not realize it was this simple. Thank you, Mandy.
