Hunan beef is another great spicy Asian dish. Although not at the top of my list, I do
enjoy making it once in awhile. This dish consists of deep fried strips of beef, broccoli,
and a spicy sauce. If you don’t want to deep fry the beef, it can be cooked in the pan as
well. I usually prefer to deep fry because I enjoy the texture better. This recipe gets its
spice from Chili paste with garlic. If you want less heat you can reduce the amount added
to the sauce. Placing the beef into the freezer for about an hour before slicing will make
the beef easier to slice and allow you to get thinner strips. If you don’t want to use
broccoli, you can replace it with another vegetable or several other kinds of vegetables.
Serve with white rice.
