Hunan Style Stir-Fry Beef

If you are craving for something spicy and sour, this quick and easy stir-fry beef is a must try! Hunan Style Stir-Fry Beef is a quick, punchy stir-fry built for people who love that spicy-and-sour kick. Sliced beef is gently “water-fed” and marinated with white pepper, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce for a tender bite, then flash-fried with garlic, ginger, fresh red chillies, and pickled chillies. Coriander roots add an extra aromatic hit, and a final splash of vinegar right at the end makes the flavours pop—served over a bed of coriander leaves for a fresh finish.
