Szechuan Beef from a chinese restaurant is always one of my favorites. I also love spicy food so much! This flank steak is hearty, delicious and it checks all the boxes. It’s sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy! YUM! One thing I love about this steak too, is that it is an easy meal prep option as well. You can marinate the steak on a Saturday Night, grill it on a Sunday and have meat for the week’s lunches! So easy!
The green beans for this recipe are the perfect amount of spicy and zang! I love roasting green beans this way! We probably eat them like this at least once a week! It is just an easy 5 minute veggie that packs a ton of flavor! Simple, easy, delicious!!
