Whether you like it deep-fried, braised, or stir-fried, beef is always delicious any way you make it. Here is a list of ways we use beef in our home, and the many different flavors we love to enjoy it with!
Sweet and Sticky Crispy Beef

This popular Hakka crispy beef takeout dish is made with thin strips of steak, marinated with garlic and ginger and deep fried to give it a super crispy crunch. It's then tossed in a very sticky sweet and savory sauce and garnished with toasted sesame seeds. Definitely a favorite, and still tastes great the next day as cold takeout.
