Ingredients
- 650g flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil

Method
Prepare the ingredients and trim any large visible pieces of fat from the beef.
Heat the oil in a heavy pan over a medium-high heat, then brown the beef in batches so it colours rather than steams.
Add the aromatics and spices, stirring until they smell fragrant.
Cook quickly over a high heat, keeping the beef tender and the vegetables bright. Add the sauce at the end so it coats the dish.
Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve with the suggested side. Nutrition values are estimates for planning and will vary with exact ingredients and portion size.
Reviews
Sichuan Cumin Beef is a keeper for me. Clear method, good portion size, and enough character to make it feel like travel food.
John RedwoodI liked the balance in Sichuan Cumin Beef. The beef stayed tender and the seasoning made the whole plate feel generous.
Karen ChambersThe Sichuan Cumin Beef worked beautifully and gave a real sense of China without feeling difficult for a home kitchen.
