Get ready to break a little sweat with this Szechuan Beef: a hefty amount of chili and spice, tamed by sweet red bell peppers and carrots, and perfect for dinner.

Szechuan Beef

sirloin steak, sliced very thinly against the grain

Chinese black vinegar

c. low-sodium soy sauce

granulated sugar

garlic, grated

ginger

tsp. black pepper

ground Szechuan peppercorn

tbsp. corn starch

tbsp. peanut oil, divided

tbsp. fermented chili bean paste (doubanjiang)

red chilis

Szechuan peppercorns

green onions, thinly sliced,

tbsp. red chili oil

red bell peppers, thinly sliced

c. low-sodium broth or water

hoisin sauce

tbsp. sambal oelek

Sesame seeds,

Served this to a group.  Everyone loved it.

This was a bad recipe. Proportions were off, especially the cornstarch and salt.

<strong>I would not make this recipe again... </strong>I agree with GreenCactus, I added about half the amount of low sodium soy sauce and added water for the other half, and the dish was quite salty. I can't even imagine how salty it would have been with all of it. Also, this dish calls for WAY too much corn starch! I followed the recipe for the marinade and the excessive amount of cornstarch just got all stuck to the bottom of the pan and burned. Because of this, the meat wouldn't brown and I ended up having to switch to a different pan for the veggies. Also, once I added the sauce and meat to the veggies, again, there was way too much cornstarch, so it was a paste. I ended up adding about a cup or so of water to make a thick sauce.

Followed recipe exactly (incl. low-sodium soy sauce). Waaaay too salty. No one could finish their dish. If we dare do this again we might try using half soy sauce and half water.

Hunan Chicken from Delish.com is quick, balanced, and spicy.

Hunan Chicken

boneless, skinless chicken thighs,

ginger,

red bell pepper, chopped

4-6 dried chilis

tbsp. sherry

cornstarch

sambal oelek

Rice,

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp canola oil. Add chicken and fry until cooked through, 7 minutes then remove from&nbsp;pan.

Heat remaining canola oil in same pan. Add ginger and cook until fragrant, 1 minute then add broccoli, bell pepper, and red chilis. Cook until vegetables are tender, 5 minutes.&nbsp;

I really like this recipe.  I like my foods a bit spicier so I added some sriracha in place of the Sambal Oelek.  It was perfect.  As is though, it’s great for people who want some food with a kick but not spicy enough to burn their mouth.
