Spicy Beef

Hot and tasty, this is strictly for spice lovers. Marinated, then stir-fried until the moisture is “baked” away from the heat of the pan, the meat acquires a unique chewy crispness. You eat slowly and savor the full flavor of the seasonings. This would serve 4 as a main course and should be accompanied by some delicate vegetables—for instance, Cucumbers Simmered with Dried Shrimp and Stir-fried Green Peas.
