Szechuan Pepper and Beef Stir-Fry

We really loved the fragrance of toasting the Sichuan peppercorns before grinding them. The sharp, fruity aroma was an indication that this dish was going to have a great deal of flavor and bite.

Sichuan peppercorns are not actually peppercorns and do not have the same effect as pepper in a recipe. Sichuan pepper has a bit of a tang and creates a numbing effect in the mouth when eaten. The flavor and spiciness is delicious and really enhanced this stir fry without adding a lot of heat. The Red Pepper Flakes add the heat needed to make this a hot and spicy dish! Add more or less Red Pepper Flakes to get the desired heat effect. You can also add a whole serrano pepper with the vegetables to add color and even more heat.


Szechuan Pepper and Beef Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon Sichuan Peppercorns
  • 1 pound lean flat iron or sirloin steak, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Flakes
  • 1 cup onions, julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1/4 cup scallions, cut thinly on the bias

Directions:

  1. Heat a dry skillet or wok to medium high heat.
  2. Add Sichuan Peppercorns and heat until fragrant (about 1-2 mins) - stir or toss to prevent burning.
  3. Remove peppercorns from heat and using a mortar & pestle or a spice grinder, grind peppercorns.
  4. In a bowl add cut beef and peppercorns, toss or mix to coat meat with pepper - set aside.
  5. Add oil to skillet or wok and heat to medium high heat.
  6. Add onions, ginger and garlic - cook about 1 minute to heat onions and combine spices.
  7. Increase heat to high.
  8. Add meat, broccoli, green peppers, soy sauce and sherry - quickly stir fry by tossing or stirring meat and vegetables.
  9. Cook until steak is cooked through and vegetables have softened but are still crisp.
  10. Add Red Pepper Flakes - 1 tablespoon is what we used - but add more or less to desired heat level.
  11. Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with scallions
