Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
  • Marinate the beef: This helps tenderize the beef and add flavor.
  • Use a wok or large skillet: This will help you get a nice sear on the beef and vegetables.
  • Cook the beef in batches: This will help prevent the beef from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of searing.
  • Add the vegetables at the end: This will help them retain their crispness.
  • Use a cornstarch slurry: This will help thicken the sauce and give it a glossy finish.
  • Serve immediately: Szechuan beef and bean sprouts is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Szechuan beef and bean sprouts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The beef is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are crisp and fresh, and the sauce is spicy and addictive.
