Description

This dish offers a delightful twist on a classic Asian-inspired favorite, featuring tender slices of beef pan-fried to perfection in a luscious, spicy-sweet glaze. The result is a symphony of textures and tastes: the savory beef, the glistening, slightly sticky sauce, and the vibrant warmth from the chilies that dance on your palate. Perfect for busy weeknights, this quick and easy recipe transforms simple ingredients into an exciting and satisfying meal.

The beef provides a hearty dose of protein, making it a nourishing and flavorful centerpiece for your dinner. The sauce, a harmonious blend of aromatic spices and tangy condiments, creates a depth of flavor that is both complex and comforting. The marinade, crafted with a base of savory sauce, sweet syrup, tangy vinegar, fragrant sesame oil, and zesty lime juice, infuses the beef with its irresistible character.

This is then elevated with a blend of Chinese five-spice, pungent garlic, warming ginger, fiery chili flakes, earthy coriander, and bold black pepper. The beef is lightly coated to help create a beautifully thickened, golden glaze as it cooks in the pan with the sauce. This Szechuan-inspired beef is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a variety of sides.

Consider topping it with freshly sliced scallions and sesame seeds for added freshness and visual appeal. Serve it alongside cauliflower rice for a light yet satisfying meal, or with stir-fried vegetables for a colorful and nutritious accompaniment. With its rich flavors and tender texture, this dish is sure to become a new favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice the flank steak into even 1/2 inch wide strips. You can do this with a knife or simply cut into strips with kitchen scissors. Add the beef strips to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the beef strips. Use your hands to toss the steak pieces and xanthan gum together, lightly coating the beef all over with the powder.
    2.
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over a medium/high heat. Add the coated steak strips. Stir fry the beef strips in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes until well browned all over.
    3.
    While the beef is browning, you can prepare the sauce. Add the tamari sauce, maple-flavored syrup, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, Chinese five-spice, coriander, chili flakes and black pepper to a small bowl. Whisk together well to combine. Please feel free to adjust the spices to personal taste, adding more or less as required. Be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes.
    4.
    Drizzle the Szechuan inspired sauce into the skillet, coating the beef strips. Stir well to combine. Let the sauce bubble and thicken, coating the beef all over. Continue to stir fry for just a few more minutes until the sauce has reduced right down to a glaze, coating the steak strips evenly. Serve the beef hot with your preferred toppings and sides.
