Szechuan Beef
Szechuan Beef is a popular Chinese dish that features thinly sliced beef stir-fried with vegetables in a savory and slightly spicy sauce. The key to this dish is the use of Szechuan peppercorns, which add a unique flavor and tingly sensation to the dish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
- 2 tablespoons Szechuan peppercorns

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the sliced flank steak, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, garlic, ginger, and Szechuan peppercorns. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the vegetables are tender.
