Spicy Szechuan Beef Stir-Fry
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite size strips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 small onions, cut into wedges
  • 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup peanuts
Instructions
1
Combine soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper in a stainless steel container to prevent metal reactions. Add sliced steak and mix well, ensuring the meat is evenly coated. Cover the container and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the marinade to penetrate.
2
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over extremely high heat. Sear the beef in hot oil until it reaches a safe internal temperature, approximately 5 minutes. Add broccoli, onions, and water chestnuts; stir-fry the vegetables for 2 minutes to preserve their crunch. Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stir in peanuts; cook for 1 minute, then present the dish hot and steaming
