1 lb lean beef steak, sliced against the grain 1/4-inch thick and 2-inches long (easier if steaks are partially frozen)

2 dried red chili peppers, cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon shaoxing rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 1/2 tablespoons gingerroot, finely chopped

2 tablespoons dark soy sauce

I really wanted to love this recipe, but I was disappointed. The sauce was bland and the beef was tough. I think I may have overcooked the beef, so I'll try again and be more careful next time.

Not bad! I liked the combination of flavors, but I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try reducing the amount of sugar.
