Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
3 to 4 tablespoons peanut oil

SPICY SICHUAN BEEF STIR-FRY



Spicy Sichuan Beef Stir-Fry image

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.

  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, and garlic. This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or large skillet to stir-fry the beef. This will help to sear the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Add the vegetables to the wok or skillet in stages, starting with the vegetables that take the longest to cook, such as broccoli and carrots. Then, add the vegetables that cook more quickly, such as bell peppers and onions.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender but still slightly crisp. This will help to preserve their nutrients and flavor.
