Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Szechuan Beef Stir-Fry.
Step 1
To start your delicious Szechuan beef stir-fry, grab a non-metal bowl and mix together the soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for that perfect kick.
Step 2
Toss in the sirloin steak strips, ensuring they’re well-coated in the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes—this is where the magic happens as the flavors meld together.
Step 4
While the beef is marinating, heat some vegetable oil in a wok or a large skillet over high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is sizzling hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry it for around 5 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful brown and is no longer pink.
Step 6
The aroma will be irresistible! Next, it’s time to add some vibrant veggies.
Step 7
Toss in the broccoli florets, onion wedges, and drained water chestnuts.
Step 8
Stir-fry everything together for another 2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender-crisp while still retaining their bright colors.
Step 9
Now, pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 10
This will create a wonderful sauce that brings all the flavors together.
Step 11
Stir in some peanuts for a delightful crunch and let it cook for an additional minute.
