Stir-Fried Chili-Garlic Beef
Milk Street

Servings: 2 to 4

Servings: 2-4
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Beef Sirloin Tips or Flat Iron Steak, trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce, divided
  • 1 Teaspoon Sichuan Peppercorns, ground
  • 6 Tablespoons Grapeseed or other neutral oil, divided
  • 3 Tablespoons Chili-Garlic sauce
  • 5 medium Garlic Cloves, finely grated
  • 4 Teaspoons unseasoned Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 Teaspoons White Sugar
  • 1 medium Red Onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 Large Red or Yellow Bell Pepper, Stemmed, Seeded and Thinly Sliced
Steps
  1. Cut the beef with the grain into 2-inch pieces, the thinly slice each piece against the grain.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the beef. 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the Sichuan pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 tablespoons of neutral oil, chili-garlic sauce, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil and sugar.
  4. In a 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining neutral oil until barely smoking. Add half the beef in an even layer and cook without stirring until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Stir, scraping the pan, and cook, stirring, until no pink remains. 1 to 1 ½ minutes; transfer to a plate. Using the fat remaining in the pan, repeat with the remaining beef.
  6. In the empty skillet over medium-high, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil until barely smoking. Add the onion and bell pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  7. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and any beef juices. Cook, stirring, until the liquid has thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the beef. Transfer to a serving dish.
Notes
  • Don’t use regular soy sauce because the chili garlic sauce also has a lot of sodium.
  • Use flap meat and slice very thinly against the grain. This will make the meat more tender because the muscle fibers are shortened.
  • Serve with steam rice.
