Buy a jar of chopped, hot red peppers with garlic (similar to what you get in any Szechwan Chinese restaurant), and keep adding until it is hot enough for you. You could also sprinkle chili oil on your beef. You can either buy chili oil in a supermarket or Oriental food store, or you can make it yourself. Soak a handful of dried red peppers in a cup or two of your favorite oil for several days. Sieve the oil and use it. -- Phyllis Eve Bregman CSRI, Univ. of Toronto {decvax,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,allegra,utzoo}!utcsri!phyllis CSNET: phyllis@toronto
