Ingredients

3/4 pound beef lean, boneless
2 teaspoons soy sauce, dark
2 teaspoons rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon ginger root finely chopped
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil preferably peanut
2 each dried red chiles cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon orange zest coarsely chopped, fresh, or 2 ts soaked and coarsely chopped dried citrus peel
1/2 teaspoon sichuan peppercorns ground, (roasted), (optional)
2 teaspoons soy sauce, dark
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

CUT THE BEEF into thin slices 2 inches long, cutting against the grain.

Put the beef into a bowl together with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, ginger, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.

Mix well, then let the mixture marinate for about 20 minutes.

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until it is very hot.

Remove the beef from the marinade with a slotted spoon.

Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2 minutes until it browns.

Remove it and leave to drain in a colander or sieve.

Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 1 teaspoon.

Reheat the pan over a high heat and then add the dried chiles.

Stir-fry them for 10 seconds, and then return the beef to the pan.

Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4 minutes, mixing well.

Serve the dish at once.
