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.

SPICY GARLIC BEEF STIR FRY



Spicy Garlic Beef Stir Fry image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips (1/4-inch)
2 tablespoons dale's liquid steak seasoning (low sodium)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beef bouillon cube
1/2 cup water, boiling
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups snow peas, trimmed

1 cup asparagus, sliced into 2-inch lengths
1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 cups white rice (I use quick-cooking)

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, dissolve beef bouillon cube in boiling water. Set aside to cool.
  • Place beef and steak seasoning in a plastic resealable bag. Seal bag, releasing as much air as possible, and toss/squeeze with hands until well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Once beef bouillon mixture has cooled, whisk in soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, cayenne pepper and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In a wok, heat 1 tbs. oil until glistening. Brown beef strips on both sides, leaving a slight tinge of pink in the middle. Remove to another dish, cover and set aside.
  • Add remaining 1 tbs. oil to wok. Add vegetables and black pepper and cook until crisp-tender. Once vegetables are cooked, return beef to wok and toss to combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the wok and add sauce mixture, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Then toss all together.
  • Serve immediately over rice.
