Hunan Beef
Description
In this Hunan Beef recipe, thin flank steak slices are browned in a skillet until golden, then set aside. The vegetables—broccoli florets, bell peppers, onions, and green onions—are sautéed with minced garlic until tender but still crisp. The prepared sauce mixing beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, chili paste, and cornstarch is added to the pan with the beef and vegetables. Stirring and simmering for a few minutes allows the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly. The dish offers a spicy, slightly sweet, and savory flavor profile with varied textures from tender meat to crunchy vegetables. It can be served alone or with grains like rice for a complete meal.
