Black Pepper Beef Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef:
    • In a bowl, mix the thinly sliced beef with baking soda. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes. This process helps tenderise the beef.
    • After 20-30 minutes, rinse the beef thoroughly under cold water to remove the baking soda taste. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Marinate the Beef:
    • In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Add the beef slices to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Cooking:
    • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
    • Add minced garlic and crushed black peppercorns. Stir-fry for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add Beef:
    • Add the marinated beef slices to the skillet. Spread them out into a single layer to ensure even cooking.
    • Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the beef is cooked through and slightly caramelised. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
  5. Serve:
    • Transfer the black pepper beef to a serving dish.
    • Garnish with sliced green onions.
    • Serve hot with steamed rice.

Tips:

  • Cutting the beef thinly against the grain ensures tenderness.
  • Crushing the peppercorns coarsely adds a nice texture and robust flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of black pepper according to your preference for spiciness.
