Team - am making this tonight or tomorrow. Calls for Flank Steak. Cant find any. What's a close equivalent I can get from the supermarket?
Sichuan Boiled Beef (水煮牛肉 - Shuizhu Niurou)
Excited really isn’t a strong enough word to describe how thrilled I am to share this Sichuan Boiled Beef recipe with all of you! “Ecstatic" and "triumphant" might do a better job. It’s a great dish

I'd suggest skirt steak? We use it a lot in asian cooking, it is perfect for flash stir frying. If you still can't get that I reckon rump would be okay, just slice the meat really thin

Rump it is!
Thanks team
I didn't read the recipe, but regardless in all stir fry type situations I will slice the meat thin then sprinkle a little salt in the bowl. Not scientific but I reckon it tastes better that way. I've used baking soda to tenderize some times, it works to make it tender but you do lose a lot of the bite which I enjoy. If the meat looks tough you can, but not too much and not for too long

always use rump in my beer stir fries, tastes great. just don't overcook it!

Or boil it, need to keep the heat up. I'll put it in the wok and spread it out, then not touch it for some time to get it browned well before flipping or stirring

This recipe uses baking soda:
"In a medium bowl, toss together the beef, baking soda, and 1/4 cup water, and allow it to marinate for 1 hour. The baking soda will help to tenderize the beef."
Then water:
"Then “wash” the beef under running water for 5 minutes, using a light to moderate stream of water so it flows out, but the beef stays in the bowl."
Then cornstarch:
"After the beef has been rinsed, pour out the water, and marinate the beef with two teaspoons of cornstarch. Set aside"

If I'm doing it I only dunk it for about 20 minutes. If the meat is good and looks quite tender you probably don't need it frankly

Ended up doing this tonight - on a bit of an Asian kick since the Asian supermarket is still open and the dishes work with lesser cuts or just straight less meat.
Was pretty tasty, we have some crazy asian chilli oil which had me sweating into my bowl

I did, and I actually have you to thank for it - because right next to the (closed) Neat Meats that you sent me to, is the Asian grocer who remains open! I spent 15mins in there trying to find what I needed for this recipe and the sichaun beef one, and was a solid 5 things short And thinking the dream was over, until the owner bloke came to help me and found what I was missing in 45 seconds (all labelled in Chinese).
So thanks!

Ha! Perfect!! Fern to rescue again, albeit by fluke.
This thread is be far my favourite at the moment. So many inspiring dishes.

I have also made lemon posset, slightly different in technique in that I boil the cream with the sugar and add the lemon juice then allow to cool. It is quite surprising to see how the lemon juice instantly thickens the cream. It is very easy and really tasty. Try adding a drop or two of sherry to make into a syllabub.
