Steps:

SPICY SICHUAN BEEF STIR-FRY
This beef and vegetable stir-fry takes its cues from dry fried Sichuan beef, which calls for browning strips of beef over high heat to ensure juicy, flavorful meat. Hot cherry peppers and spicy black bean sauce give this dish its fire, but you can use sweet black bean sauce for a mellower version. To get closer to the original dish, seek out Sichuan peppercorns.

Steps:
- Add all the marinade ingredients to the beef in a bowl, mix well, and set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- When you're ready to cook, place a wok over high heat until it's almost smoking, then add the oil. Sear the beef until it's just browned but still a little rare. Turn off the heat while you transfer the beef to a separate bowl. Leave any oil/fat in the wok.
- Heat the wok back up over medium-high heat and add the garlic and peppers. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, then spread the Shaoxing wine around the wok to de-glaze it.
- Stir-fry for another 20 seconds and add the beef back to the wok along with any juices from the bowl. Add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper. Turn the heat back up to high and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the peppers turn darker.
- If you like more sauce, add the chicken stock to further de-glaze the wok and reduce the liquid slightly. The cornstarch from the marinade will help thicken the sauce. Plate and serve immediately with rice.

HOT & SPICY SZECHWAN BEEF STIR FRY
This used to call for a cheap cut of flank steak but flank steak has been 'discovered'. It's not worth $6-7 a pound. It is probably my fault, I spent years singing the glories of the stuff and people finally believed me. That is the way of it all. If you can find it use soy sauce made with water, soy beans, and salt and nothing else. It is much richer and better. Portions and cooking time are a guess.

SPICY GARLIC BEEF STIR FRY
This stir fry is delicious with tender strips of beef, sweet fresh veggies and a spicy beef sauce. I like to marinate my stir fry meat before cooking to add an extra layer of flavor. I like to use Dale's Liquid Steak Seasoning, but it can be difficult to find. If you can't find this product, substitute 1 1/2 tbs. soy sauce plus 1 tbs. Worcestershire Sauce. It's not the same but close enough. The heat level of this dish is just right for me, but you may adjust the amount of cayenne pepper per your taste.

Tips:
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a hot wok or frying pan: This will help sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
- Stir-fry the beef in small batches: This will help prevent the meat from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of searing.
- Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help them retain their crunch.
- Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce: This will help create a glossy and flavorful sauce.
- Serve the beef stir-fry over rice or noodles: This will help soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Spicy beef stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying stir-fry that the whole family will enjoy.
