What Exactly Is Panda Express' Beijing Beef?
BY Kat Lieu
Panda Express' Beijing beef is an exclusive dish to the Chinese American fast food chain. Since you can only find it at the restaurant, some have wondered what it actually is.
You may think this dish is quite spicy since you'll get crispy beef, sliced onions, and diced red bell peppers, but the sauce also makes it sweet and tangy.
This makes Beijing beef pair well with white rice. Fans of this dish call the sauce irresistible, and it's no wonder there are so many copycat recipes online.
While it resembles other Chinese food dishes like Szechuan beef or sweet and sour pork, it's not a classic dish from Beijing; it is still a Chinese American dish.
