Beef a La Sichuan Recipe

Here is a copycat recipe for the Beef a La Sichuan at PF Chang’s restaurant. For those unfamiliar with this dish—fried strips of beef are tossed with a spicy sauce and vegetables. The beef can either be deep-fried or cooked in the pan. There are 3 different types of vegetables in this recipe—carrots, green onions, and celery. The sauce is both spicy and sweet—it gets most of its heat from ingredients such as Chinese hot mustard, red chili paste, chili oil, and red pepper flakes. If you are not a fan of spicy dishes you could add less of the spicy ingredients. I like to serve this dish over hot brown rice. Enjoy.
