Stir Fry
8 ounces sirloin, cut into thin strips across the grain
2 tablespoons peanut oil (not the toasted kind) or 2 tablespoons sesame oil (not the toasted kind)
1 tablespoon szechuan peppercorns, crushed
1 teaspoon chinese rice wine (shao xing)
1 small red bell pepper, sliced thinly

directions

Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add in the beef and coat well. Leave to marinate for 30-60 minutes in the fridge. When ready to cook, drain the beef well, reserving the marinade.
Heat a wok or large skillet on high fire. Add peanut oil, and swirl to coat. Add the crushed sichuan peppercorns and do a few quick stirs until fragrant. Add the beef, then the shao xing, and sear for 1-2 minutes until slightly charred, then do a few quick stirs. Add in bell pepper and give it a few more stirs.
Keep the heat on high, add in the leftover marinade, and toss to coat all the ingredients. When the sauce starts to simmer, stir in the scallions and toasted sesame oil. Serve immediately with hot steamed rice.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
