ingredients
- 2 tablespoons shaoxing rice wine or 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon chili paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground szechuan peppercorns
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 lb flank steak, sliced against the grain 1/4 inch thick slices
- 5 dried red chilies
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, julienned
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (red, orange or yellow)
- 2 scallions, cut into 3 inch lengths then shredded
directions
- In a small bowl, combine the rice wine, chili paste, soy sauce, sichuan pepper and black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates upon contact. Add 3 tbsp of the peanut oil, swirl to coat the pan, then wait one minute for the oil to heat up.
- Add the beef, spread it out evenly, and allow it to sizzle undisturbed for 2 minutes. Cook the beef for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil becomes clear again. Transfer the meat to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Drain the wok of the oil and using a paper towel, wipe clean. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and heat for 1 minute on medium-high. Add the chilies, garlic and ginger and stir-fry (30 seconds). Add the bell pepper and stir-fry 1 minute more.
- Add the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce, making sure to use a spatula to release any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Toss in the scallions then transfer to a plate and serve.
