Method

Beef Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Slice the beef sirloin against the grain into thin strips and place in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Add soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil to the beef. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Szechuan Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Aromatics

    Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  3. 5

    Add Spices and Sauce Ingredients

    Stir in the Szechuan peppercorns, chili paste, sugar, rice vinegar, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to low.

Cooking the Beef and Vegetables

  1. 6

    Stir-Fry the Beef

    Increase the heat back to medium-high and add the marinated beef to the skillet. Stir-fry until the beef is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 8

    Cook the Rice

    In a separate pot, combine white rice and water. Bring to boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the Szechuan beef over a bed of white rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
