Beef Chili is a traditional Chinese recipe, made with thinly sliced beef slices stir fried on high heat, cooked with aromatics, veggies of choice, fresh and dried chili peppers and doused in a delicious soy sauce based sauce. It’s one of my dad’s favorite dishes and usually served on a sizzling platter back home in Pakistan. No celebration was ever complete without a dinner at a fancy Chinese restaurant and Beef with Chilies on a sizzling platter was always a spectacle!
To make this dish you can use any lean cut of meat, for instance ribeye steak works well, even flank steak cut against the grain works really well!! If you can’t find siracha sauce, you can substitue with red chili powder.
Serving suggestions: This item goes great with fried rice, steamed white rice or lo mein noodles tossed into the work directly with the beef chili itself.
