Stir-Fried Beef with Szechuan Hot Bean Paste

Another recipe which has been shelved for a while because I always forget to buy the Hot Bean Paste for this recipe. A nice and simple recipe.



Ingredients: -
- 250g beef fillet
- 70g onions
- 100g celery
- 2 red chillies
- 1 stalk spring onion (not a necessity)
**
Marinade: -
- 1/4 salt
- 2 tsps corn flour
- 2 tbsps water
- 1 tbsp Szechuan hot bean paste
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
**
1. Rinse beef, drain and cut into thin slices. Add in the Marinade, mix and marinate for about 15 mins. Meanwhile, peel onions and cut into slices. Cut celery into slices. Remove seeds of red chillies and cut into slices. Cut spring onion into 3cm sections.
2. Heat 2 tbsps of oil, then add onions and red chillies and fry for about 2 mins or so.
3. Add beef and celery and stir fry until the beef is cooked through.
4. Garnish with spring onion and serve.
**
Like I said, it is a very simple dish especially for those of you who are busy. Even to marinate only takes 15 minutes compared to some dishes which can take at least half an hour to about an hour or longer.
