Szechuan Shredded Beef image

The trick to this is cutting the meat nice and thin while it is still a bit frozen. I like it hotter, I put an average amount of red peppers down in the recipe. If you like it mild, take them out.

Time 23m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb beef rump, partially frozen
2 tablespoons hot bean paste
1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 -3 tablespoons oil
3 celery ribs

1 green bell pepper
3 -5 dried red chilies
6 -8 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
hot steamed rice

Steps:

  • Cut partially frozen beef into thin slices, then julienne into a fine shred (cutting beef while part frozen keeps meat thinner); set aside.
  • Mix bean paste, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and ginger; pour over beef in shallow dish or plastic bag, coating meat well.
  • Marinate meat 2 hours.
  • Cut celery, carrot, and green pepper into thin shreds; cut onion into thin slivers, and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok and add dried chilies and minced garlic; cook until aromatic, then add vegetables.
  • Stir-fry vegetables 2 minutes then remove from wok.
  • Add 1-2 tbsp oil to wok, heat to high then add meat; stir-fry until meat is dark and slightly crispy at edges; keep meat pieces separated.
  • Return vegetables to wok; mix well; stir in sesame oil.
  • Serve with steamed rice.
