hunan beef
(1 RATING)
Stir-fry beef has become very popular and is now readily found in the marketplace. Although you can add some steamed broccoli to this dish, I put the recipe together without it just for simplicity. If desired, add 2 cups of cooked broccoli florets and toss with the beef and marinade before serving.

How To Make hunan beef
-
Step 1In a medium-large bowl, add the steak, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, coarsely ground peppercorns, wine, chiles, and cornstarch. Stir well, cover, and marinade in the refrigerator at least 2-3 hours, or overnight.
-
Step 2Remove meat from refrigerator, let sit for about 10 minutes, then separate meat with a fork. Drain marinade liquid and set aside.
-
Step 3Heat oil in a wok or deep skillet to deep frying temperature over medium high, to about 370-375 degrees, separate out pieces of meat and then add them to the hot oil, tossing lightly to cook evenly, for about 2-3 minutes.
-
Step 4Remove beef from pan and place on a plate covered with a paper towel, remove most of the excess oil, and then add the remaining marinade to the pan, bringing to a boil for about 20-30 seconds. Add sweet chili sauce and stir to combine.
-
Step 5Add beef back into the pan and quickly toss with the marinade. Add scallions, toss for another 10-15 seconds, then remove and serve.
