Sichuan-style Spicy Boiled Beef Slices

Sichuan-style Spicy Boiled Beef Slices

Sichuan-style Spicy Boiled Beef Slices, also known as "shui zhu niu rou" in Chinese, is a classic dish from Sichuan Province in China. It consists of thinly sliced beef that is boiled in a spicy broth along with Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger, and other fragrant spices. The broth is typically made with Sichuan chili bean paste, chili oil, and soy sauce, which gives it a deep, rich flavor and fiery heat. The final dish is traditionally served with a platter of fresh vegetables, such as leafy greens, bean sprouts, and mushrooms, which are used to wrap the tender beef slices and soak up the flavorful broth.
