Cold Beef

This Sichuan-style stir-fried beef is a bold and aromatic dish that packs a punch of flavor. Tender beef strips are first boiled to remove impurities, then stir-fried with fragrant spices like Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and cumin for a deeply savory taste. The beef is simmered in its own rich broth, absorbing all the umami goodness before being finished with a touch of sugar and fiery chili oil for the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. Quick stir-frying locks in the juices, ensuring each bite is succulent and bursting with spicy, numbing Sichuan flavors. Ideal for spice lovers, this dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying meal. The combination of slow simmering and high-heat wok cooking makes this beef irresistibly tender and packed with layers of complex taste. A must-try for anyone craving authentic, mouthwatering Sichuan cuisine!
