Flank Steak,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>skirt steak, flat iron steak, and tri-tip steak are all suitable options. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables<\/strong>: I like to use a combination of broccoli, bell peppers, and onions for texture and flavor. Feel free to use any quick-cooking sturdy vegetables you like such as, bok choy, shelled edamame, carrots, canned baby corn, or zucchini.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil<\/strong>: Use a neutral oil with a high-smoking point, such as avocado oil, canola oil, or peanut oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soy Sauce<\/strong>: I recommend using low-sodium soy sauce to keep the level of sodium lower in this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oyster Sauce<\/strong>: Oyster Sauce has such a rich punch of flavor, but if you don\u2019t have it on hand, you can use Hoisin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili Paste<\/strong>: Chili paste, or sambal oelek, is made from ground chiles and will give this dish its authentic kick.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honey<\/strong>: Just a touch of sweetness helps to balance out the acidity and heat in this sauce. Feel free to use brown sugar in place of the honey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch<\/strong>: The cornstarch helps the Hunan Sauce to thicken. If you have an allergy to corn, feel free to use arrowroot powder in place of cornstarch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-hunan-beef\">How to Make Hunan Beef<\/h2>\n<p><em>The following tips are provided to help you achieve perfect results.
