Spicy Dry-Fried Beef

This spicy dry-fried beef is a vibrant, high-protein dish that brings authentic Sichuan-style textures to your home kitchen. Unlike saucy stir-frys, this technique involves cooking the beef until the moisture evaporates, leaving the meat intensely flavoured, caramelised, and slightly chewy. Combined with the crunch of julienned carrots and celery, and a gentle heat from dried chillies, it offers a sophisticated balance of savoury and spicy notes that is both satisfying and light.

Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner, this recipe is packed with lean protein and fresh aromatics like ginger and garlic. By using a hot wok and minimal oil, you can achieve a professional finish that rivals your favourite takeaway but with much better nutritional value. Serve it immediately on its own for a low-carb option, or alongside a bowl of steamed jasmine rice for a complete, comforting meal.

Ingredients for Spicy Dry-Fried Beef

  • 350g lean flank steak

  • 3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil

  • 475ml julienned carrots

  • 130g julienned celery

  • 3 small dried red chilies, snipped on one end

  • 2 colheres de sopa de molho de soja

  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger

  • 1 colher de chá de alho picado

  • 2 colheres de chá de óleo de gergelim

  • 2 spring onions, finely shredded

  • 1/2 colher de chá de sal

  • 1/8 colher de chá de pimenta moída na hora

Cut the beef with the grain into 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then stack the beef slices and cut across the grain into 2-inch-long matchsticks.

Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil, add the carrots, celery, and chilies, then, using a metal spatula, stir-fry 1 minute or until the vegetables have absorbed all of the oil. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.

Swirl the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil into the wok, carefully add the beef, and spread it evenly in one layer in the wok. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting the beef begin to sear. Then stir-fry 1 minute, or until the beef starts to foam and release its juices. Continue stir-frying 2 to 3 minutes or until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the oil begins to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium and continue stir-frying 3 minutes until the beef is well browned, all the liquid has disappeared, and the wok is almost dry. Swirl the soy sauce into the wok and stir-fry 30 seconds or until well combined. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry 10 seconds or until the aromatics are fragrant. Add the carrot mixture and stir-fry 30 seconds or until well combined. Add the sesame oil and spring onions and sprinkle on the salt and pepper.
