Sichuan Boiled Beef with Supermarket Ingredients 

Using only ingredients from the supermarket, we cook a variation on the famous Sichuan ‘boiled beef,’ showcasing different techniques of Sichuan cooking to build complex flavours, while keeping the dish accessible to home cooks without easy access to specialty Chinese food stores.
Originating from Sichuan cuisine, ‘Shui Zhu Rou Pian’ (水煮肉片) is a spicy and aromatic dish featuring tender beef slices boiled in a rich, flavourful broth infused with chilli and Sichuan peppercorns. The beef is first marinated, then quickly boiled, and served with an array of vegetables, creating a dish that’s both spicy and savoury, with the unique numbing sensation known as ‘mala’. This method highlights the depth and complexity of Sichuan cooking, transforming simple supermarket ingredients into a restaurant-quality meal.
