Szechuanese cooking has gained overwhelming popularity both in and out of China. Among its rich selection of dishes, Poached Beef in Hot Chili Oil, also commonly known as “Water Boiled Beef”, is a staple choice and a must-try.

Don’t be fooled by the name and think the dish is bland. On the contrary, this dish is bursting with flavors. The beef slices are steeped in a rich sauce of fragrant, hot and numbing spices, while their savory and tender texture is nicely preserved. On a frigid winter day, there is nothing more satisfying than enjoying a bowl of sizzling hot beef in chili oil. And don’t forget to eat it with a bowl of steaming white rice.
