Fo FaKung Pao Beef
If you have Szechuan pepper corns, use them instead of the black pepper corns, I can't ever find them and don't use them enough to warrant a large quantity purchase, but black pepper corns seems to work pretty good as a substitute. This is not too difficult, and a good way to use up that beef sitting in the fridge. It had good flavor, didn't take a lot of time. Prep before cooking, trust me on this. When you start the stir-fry process, you have to keep stirring, no time for prep. Read through the directions first, cooking time is short and busy. Above all, have fun doing it.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Slice beef into pieces. Mine were about 1/2 inch by 2 inches. But make them whatever size you like. I was using a sirloin steak this time. I cut it in half lengthwise, and sliced each half.
* Step 2
Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper in a small bowl, mix well
* Step 3
Add cornstarch, mix until all is coated, set aside
* Step 4
In a small container, I used a coffee mug, mix together the sauce ingredients. Set aside
* Step 5
Using a stir-fry, wok, or skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil, heat on medium high
* Step 6
Add about 1/3 of your fresh chillies, sliced or diced, to oil, stir for about 30 seconds
* Step 7
Add veggies to pan, stir-fry until done, about 3-4 minutes, remove and set aside
* Step 8
Add remaining 2 tablespoon oil to your pan, allow to heat up, about 30 seconds
* Step 9
Roughly crush the pepper corns, add to the pan, stir for about 1 minute
* Step 10
Remaining fresh chillies, add them to the pan, stir for 1 minute
* Step 11
Add beef to pan, stir-fry until brown (not done, just browned), 2 - 3 minutes
* Step 12
Add peanuts to meat, keep stirring, 1 minute
* Step 13
Add veggies back in, keep stirring, 2 minutes to warm through.
* Step 14
Give sauce one final stir, add to pan, keep stirring
* Step 15
When the sauce has reduced and thickened, reduce heat to medium low, stir 1 minute to allow heat to reduce in pan.
* Step 16
Add cilantro and green onions, stir for 1 more minute
* Step 17
Serve. We usually serve ours over rice, but I could see this over noodles also.
