Just saw Giada make this on Food Networ, and it looked SO good! After reading some of the reviews on the other site, I might suggest starting with only 2 chiles and 1 teaspoon of the chili paste unless you like things really hot.The asterisk means it can be found at specialty Asian markets Posted for ZWT6.

SPICY AND TINGLY BEEF
This recipe for a simple dish of mala beef comes from Jason Wang of Xi'an Famous Foods in New York, but as Wang puts it, "You can mala anything." Spicy chiles and tingly Sichuan peppercorns define mala, one of the many flavors of Sichuan cuisine, and though it can season beef, the same technique for a vivid, brilliant sauce can be applied to a big pile of sautéed mushrooms, or simmered tofu and sautéed greens. However you choose to make it, serve the dish over hot rice or simmered noodles and finish it with a little drizzle of Sichuan chile oil, if you've got it.

Steps:
- Place the meat in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 2 inches; bring to a boil. Let boil for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat, drain the water and transfer the meat to a cutting board. When it's cool enough to handle, cut the meat into approximately 1-inch cubes.
- In the same pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium. Add the onion, scallions, ginger, garlic, star anise and dried red chiles, and sauté for about 30 seconds. Reduce heat slightly, and stir in Pixian sauce, letting it cook until the red oil rises. Add the beef, cooking wine, soy sauce and 2 cups water.
- Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high. Once the mixture is boiling, reduce heat to low so the liquid holds at a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for another 30 minutes, until meat is tender and the sauce is reduced. If the pan starts to dry out, exposing the meat, add a splash of water as needed.
- Once the meat is cooked, add the tomato, Sichuan peppercorn powder and chile powder, and stir to combine. Turn off the heat, and cover for about 5 minutes so the flavors can meld. Serve over warm rice or noodles, and finish with a drizzle of Sichuan chile crisp.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are all good choices for this recipe. They are relatively thin and cook quickly, so they won't become tough.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar helps to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcook the beef: The beef should be cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness. Overcooking will make it tough and chewy.
- Serve the beef with a dipping sauce: A spicy mint sauce is a great accompaniment to this dish. It adds a refreshing and flavorful contrast to the richness of the beef.
Conclusion:
This spicy mint beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The beef is tender and juicy, and the spicy mint sauce adds a refreshing and flavorful contrast. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
