Crispy Chilli Beef is a Chinese-inspired dish that features crispy strips of beef coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. The dish is typically served with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables. To make the dish, thin slices of beef are first coated in cornstarch and fried until crispy.

A sauce is then made by combining ingredients such as soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. The fried beef is then tossed in the sauce until well coated and topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish. The result is a deliciously crispy and flavorful dish with just the right amount of heat.
