Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Rinse the beef shank, heart, and tongue under cold water, then place in a large pot with enough water to cover. Add ginger and Sichuan peppercorns, bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Simmer gently for about 60–70 minutes, skimming off scum. The meat should be cooked through but tender; watch closely to avoid overcooking for optimal texture.

  3. 3

    Remove the beef and offal, and let cool fully before slicing. Slice everything paper-thin against the grain for maximum tenderness.

  4. 4

    In a mixing bowl, combine Sichuan chili oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, sugar, salt, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir well until sugar dissolves and set aside.

  5. 5

    Arrange the sliced meats with celery, scallion, and cilantro on a platter. Drizzle the spicy dressing evenly over the slices right before serving to preserve their texture. Toss lightly to coat, garnish with extra scallions if desired.
