About This Recipe

This savory and aromatic Sichuan-style cumin beef stir-fry is a flavor-packed dish that combines tender marinated beef with crisp green and red peppers, all infused with the bold spices of cumin, Sichuan peppercorns, and sesame seeds. The beef is first marinated in a rich blend of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cumin for deep umami notes, then stir-fried with fragrant ginger, scallions, and toasted peppercorns for a smoky, slightly numbing kick. The addition of fresh peppers adds a vibrant crunch, while double cumin—both powder and grains—enhances the dish with earthy warmth. Finished with a sprinkle of nutty sesame seeds, this stir-fry delivers a perfect balance of spice, texture, and savory depth. Quick to prepare yet bursting with complex flavors, it’s an irresistible weeknight meal that brings the bold taste of Sichuan cuisine to your table.
