#beefstirfry #stirfrybeef #chinesebeef
The spicy dry-fried beef is a perfect example of the dry-frying technique unique to Sichuan cuisine. The shredded beef is un-marinated, quickly stir fried in a wok to drive off the moisture and intensify the beef flavor. The shredded beef will be stir fried twice with aromatic spices to absorb more flavor. The end result is spicy and aromatic beef with crispy and chewy bites.
The key to this dish is to control the temperature when dry frying the beef, otherwise the shredded beef can be easily overcooked.

Szechuan Beef
This Szechuan beef recipe is not overly hot but has the perfect amount of kick to make the taste buds sing with a hint of warmth from the ginger in the marinade.
RECIPE AND INSTRUCTIONS HERE! -
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless sirloin steak fat trimmed and sliced to 1/4 inch
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Sante Fe chili pepper julienned. or other hot red pepper
1/2 cup carrots julienned
2 1/2 Tablespoons shallots sliced
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
green onions sliced, optional as garnish
Marinade
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 1/2 Tablespoons chili garlic sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1 1/2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Slice steak thinly against the grain into 1/4 inch pieces.
Mix all marinade ingredients. Stir marinade and steak together, toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap or foil. Set aside to marinade at room temperature for 40 minutes.
Heat olive oil in deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add meat and stir fry until just no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes. Do not overcook.
To the meat in the skillet, add peppers, carrots, and shallots. Cook for a 2-3 minutes, tossing with the meat constantly.
At this point the dish is already done, but to thicken the sauce follow the next step.
Drain off about 1/2 cup of the juice from the pan. If you don’t have enough, you can use beef broth the make up the difference. Place cornstarch in a small dish and dribble in a little of the reserved juice you just removed from the pan. Mix with cornstarch to form a paste then add that mixture back into the remaining juices. Add cornstarch mixture back to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
Serve with rice or noodles.
Notes
Have all your ingredients ready to go before you begin stir frying the meat.
You can use flat iron, flank steak, or skirt steak instead of sirloin steak if desired. It's important to slice the beef thinly against the grain because if you do not, you will likely end up with chewy and tough beef strips.
Another tip is to slice the meat when it’s partially frozen as it’s much easier to slice through and gives you nice straight cuts.
Leftovers can be stores in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Free printable crispy chilli beef recipe on our site:
Ingredients:
• ¾ lb (360g) thin cut sirloin steaks - (approx 3 steaks) cut into thin strips*
• 1 small egg
• 4 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp white pepper
• 4 ½ tbsp sunflower oil, divided
• 1 medium onion, sliced into thin strips
• 1 red chilli – finely sliced- discard the seeds if you don't like it too hot
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 3 garlic cloves - peeled and minced
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 6 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar
• 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
Process:

• Add in the finely chopped chilli, 1 tsp minced ginger and 3 minced cloves of garlic and cook whilst stirring for 30 seconds.
• Add the 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 3tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp tomato puree, 6 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp tomato ketchup and the 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce to the pan. Turn up the heat and let it bubble for a couple of minutes until the sauce starts to reduce a little.
• Add the beef back in, give it a stir and heat through for 1-2 minutes – until the beef is hot.
• Serve with Egg fried rice, boiled rice or noodles.
