    How to Make Sichuan-Style Steamed Beef with Roasted Rice

    1. Make the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, Sichuan Peppercorn Oil, Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, white rice vinegar, Red Oil, double dark soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, sugar, and a pinch of white pepper. Stir these ingredients thoroughly until they form a uniform mixture.

    2. Prepare the Beef

    Cut the beef brisket across the grain into pieces approximately 2.5 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 1 inch thick.

    3. Marinate the Beef

    Place the beef slices into a steamproof dish. Pour the marinade over the beef and mix well to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Add the roasted rice, Superior Stock, and the white portions of the scallions, and mix again. Allow the beef to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, uncovered.

    4. Steam the Beef

    Place the steamproof dish in a steamer, cover, and steam for about 50 minutes. The beef is done when it is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

    5. Finish and Serve

    Remove the dish from the steamer and sprinkle the green portions of the scallions over the top.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Marinade Matters

    Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate and tenderize the meat.

    Selecting the Beef

    Choose a high-quality cut of beef that's well-marbled and tender, such as sirloin or tenderloin. Fat marbling will contribute to the flavor and tenderness of the steamed beef.

    Sichuan Peppercorns

    Toast and grind your own Sichuan peppercorns for a more aromatic and potent numbing sensation.

    Balancing the Flavors

    Balance the spicy, sweet, salty, and sour components of the sauce, tasting and adjusting the seasonings as necessary.

    Roasting the Rice

    The rice should be roasted until it's a deep golden brown to ensure a robust, nutty flavor. Cool it completely before grinding to avoid moisture affecting the texture.
