'''Water Boiled Beef''' (Simplified Chinese: 水煮牛肉; Traditional Chinese: 水煮牛肉; Pinyin: ''Shuǐ zhǔ niú ròu''; also Shui Zhu Niu Rou) is a Sichuan dish of thinly sliced beef briefly cooked in a bubbling, chili-heavy broth and oil, usually served over blanched vegetables such as bean sprouts or cabbage and finished with a dramatic pour of hot chili oil and Sichuan pepper. Soft exclusive inventorship claims for a single restaurant are folk. It belongs to the same '''shui zhu''' (water-boiled) family as [[Sichuan Boiled Fish]] (水煮鱼) but uses beef as the protein; it is not dry stir-fried kung pao beef and not clear-broth boiled beef alone.<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sichuan_cuisine Source]</ref>
