The dish you're referring to is likely "Beef and Snow Peas in a Szechuan Sauce" or "Kung Pao Beef Noodle Soup", but it's possible that it's actually "Beef Lo Mein" or "Chow Mein" with shredded pepper beef and noodles. Since you mentioned it's commonly found in restaurants in the USA, I'll provide an overview of these popular Chinese-American dishes:

Beef and Snow Peas in a Szechuan Sauce:

  • This dish typically features beef strips, snow peas, and red bell peppers in a spicy Szechuan sauce, served over noodles (often lo mein or chow mein).
  • The Szechuan sauce gives it a slightly spicy and numbing flavor profile, thanks to Szechuan peppercorns and chili peppers.
  • Kung Pao Beef Noodle Soup:

  • This is a variation of the Sichuan dish Kung Pao chicken, but with beef and noodles added.
  • It typically features beef, peanuts or cashews, vegetables (like bell peppers and carrots), and noodles in a spicy and savory sauce, flavored with Szechuan peppercorns and chili peppers.
  • Beef Lo Mein or Chow Mein:

  • These are two popular Chinese-American dishes that often feature beef, shredded or sliced, and mixed with lo mein (thick, chewy noodles) or chow mein (thin, crispy noodles).
  • The beef is usually cooked with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sometimes sugar to create a sweet and savory flavor profile.
  • Vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts are commonly added, and sometimes scallions and sesame oil for garnish.
  • To make a similar dish at home, you can try the following recipe:

    Shredded Pepper Beef Noodle Soup (inspired by Beef Lo Mein):

    Ingredients:

  • 1 lb beef (sirloin or flank steak), sliced into thin strips
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup lo mein noodles
  • Scallions, chopped (optional)
  • Instructions:

    1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    2. In a large skillet or wok, cook the beef in sesame oil until browned, then set aside.

    3. Add the mixed vegetables, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sugar, and white pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

    4. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.

    5. In a large pot, combine the beef broth and the cooked beef and vegetable mixture. Bring to a simmer.

    6. Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the noodles are well coated with the sauce.

    7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions if desired.
