SEASONING A

SEASONING B

Partially freeze the beef to cut into paper-thin slices across the grain, then cut into strips about 1-⅔" by 1". Place in a dish and rub on the seasoning A ingredients. Leave for 20 minutes.

Heat the frying oil and fry the peppers, orange peel, and peppercorns for about 3 minutes, until dark brown.

Remove and set aside. Reheat the wok and add the beef.

Stir-fry on high heat until the meat is crisp on the edges, then return the fried ingredients and add the seasoning B ingredients.

Stir briefly on high heat, then transfer to a warmed serving plate.

If preferred, the beef may be deep-fried in fairly hot oil until quite crisp, then stir-fried with the seasoning B and other fried ingredients.
