Steps

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
• In a bowl, combine the beef, soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Cut the eggplant into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggplant and cook until golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
• While the beef is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water.
• Once the beef is cooked, pour the sauce into the skillet and stir well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
• Add the cooked eggplant back into the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce.
• Transfer the beef and eggplant mixture to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• Serve the beef with eggplant and coriander hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.

Tips

• Make sure to cut the beef against the grain for a tender result.
• Adjust the amount of soy sauce and honey in the sauce according to your taste preference.
