szechuan beef

Fiery Chinese dish

Szechuan beef is a Chinese-American dish featuring stir-fried beef with dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and vegetables in a spicy, savory sauce.

The dish takes its name from Sichuan province, known for bold, numbing-hot cuisine.

I ordered the szechuan beef extra spicy.

Also spelled Sichuan beef.
