hunan beef

Fiery Chinese dish

Hunan beef is a Chinese-American dish of sliced beef stir-fried with vegetables in a spicy, savory sauce.

Named after China's Hunan province, known for its bold, chile-forward cuisine, the dish typically features garlic, ginger, and dried red peppers.

It's hotter and less sweet than Szechuan beef, with a cleaner heat: I'll have the Hunan beef, extra spicy.
