Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 6 pieces dried red chilies, chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 3 stalks green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Szechwan peppercorns, toasted and crushed
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 cups white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the sliced beef in a medium bowl. Add the cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and crushed Szechwan peppercorns. Stir well and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, searing evenly. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Toss in the garlic, ginger, and dried red chilies. Stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, carrot, and green onions to the wok. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving plate and, if desired, serve with steamed white rice. Enjoy your spicy and savory Szechwan Beef Stir Fry!
