SPICY DRY-FRIED BEEF
This is a typical Sichuan technique for dry-frying beef. Unlike most meat stir-fries, the beef is not marinated; instead it is stir-fried immediately then cooked for a few minutes longer to intensify the beef flavors and to give give the meat a slightly chewy texture.

Steps:
- Cut the beef with the grain into 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then stack the beef slices and cut across the grain into 2-inch-long matchsticks.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil, add the carrots, celery, and chilies, then, using a metal spatula, stir-fry 1 minute or until the vegetables have absorbed all of the oil. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
- Swirl the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil into the wok, carefully add the beef, and spread it evenly in one layer in the wok. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting the beef begin to sear. Then stir-fry 1 minute, or until the beef starts to foam and release its juices. Continue stir-frying 2 to 3 minutes or until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the oil begins to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium and continue stir-frying 3 minutes until the beef is well browned, all the liquid has disappeared, and the wok is almost dry. Swirl the soy sauce into the wok and stir-fry 30 seconds or until well combined. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry 10 seconds or until the aromatics are fragrant. Add the carrot mixture and stir-fry 30 seconds or until well combined. Add the sesame oil and scallions and sprinkle on the salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right celery: Use fresh, crisp celery with vibrant green stalks. Avoid limp or wilted celery, as it will not provide the same texture or flavor.
- Cut the celery correctly: Cut the celery into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. The size of the pieces will depend on your preference, but aim for pieces that are about 2 inches long.
- Coat the celery thoroughly: Before frying, ensure that the celery is evenly coated in the cornstarch mixture. This will help the celery to become crispy and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Fry the celery in hot oil: Heat the oil to a high temperature before adding the celery. This will help the celery to cook quickly and prevent it from becoming limp.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: When frying the celery, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the celery from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Season the celery to taste: Once the celery is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor.
