3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, (chopped)

Instrucțiuni

In a large bowl, using your hands, mash the beef with the baking soda. Let it sit on the counter for 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Once the beef is "treated" and ready to cook, heat the vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Brown the beef, stirring frequently and breaking into pieces, until just slightly pink, about 5 minutes. (I don't drain the fat - there's not that much and it adds flavor.)

Add the garlic, ginger, and light scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, a few minutes.

Add the reserved hoisin sauce mixture and cook until the beef is well-coated and cooked through, about a minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Gently stir in the remaining scallions and spoon the beef into bowls over rice. Top with sesame seeds, chopped cashews, and shredded veggies, if you like.
