Garlic hunan beef is spicy dish with dried thai chilies, coarsely ground black pepper, ginger, garlic and chinese wine. loaded with umami flavor and served with a healthy serving of broccoli. use shaoxing wine in this hunan beef recipe, which is traditional chinese wine, fermented from rice. if you have trouble finding it, no problem a dry sherry will also work with this easy hunan beef recipe. one of my favorite aspects of making hunan beef is how easy, simple and quick it is to get it to the table you can prep ingredients while the beef is marinating. this recipe pairs well with p. f. changs singapore street noodles, asian chive kimchi or brothy chinese noodles.
