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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound flank steak, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 English cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 stalks celery, chopped, plus celery leaves for topping
3 tablespoons Asian black bean sauce
4 pickled hot cherry peppers, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons brine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon mixed peppercorns
4 cups cooked jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Toss the steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a large bowl. Combine the cucumber and celery in a separate bowl; set aside.
  • Stir the black bean sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch, the cherry pepper brine and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the cucumber-celery mixture and cook, undisturbed, 1 minute. Toss and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet. Add the steak in a single layer. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Toss and continue cooking, stirring, until just a few pink spots remain, 1 more minute. Add the garlic, ginger and peppercorns and cook, stirring, until the meat is cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Add the black bean sauce mixture and cherry peppers and bring to a boil. Cook until glossy, about 1 minute. Toss in the cucumbers and celery.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice. Top with celery leaves.

SPICY SCREAMIN' SZECHUAN STIR FRY



Spicy Screamin' Szechuan Stir Fry image

This was the other main dish at my Chinese New Year's party. Several guests declined a second chopstick load and requested large amounts of water, others went back for thirds. Depends on how much you treasure the continued existence of your taste buds...and don't be scared by the long ingredients list, they're all simple and easy. Serve this alongside something savory, follow with something cool and sweet, and vary the marinade and number of chilies according to taste. I used long, skinny 'pyro peppers' in this version. Oh, and try to resist the temptation to turn the heat down -- high heat is important to a quick stir fry, though it does make the chilies and chili oil quite pungent.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If possible, buy organic produce to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
  • Choose the right oil: A high-heat oil like grapeseed or canola oil is best for stir-frying. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and will burn easily.
  • Heat your wok or pan over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on your vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: Don't overcrowd your wok or pan, or the vegetables will steam instead of fry.
  • Season your vegetables: Season your vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices before stir-frying. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Add sauce or liquid: Once your vegetables are cooked, you can add a sauce or liquid to the wok or pan. This will help to create a more flavorful stir-fry.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve their鮮豔的色彩 and flavor.
