Tender and succulent beef strips with a black pepper flavoured sauce, Chinese black pepper beef stir-fry can be made at home to a restaurant standard.

Ingredients

·         350g / 12oz flank or skirt steak, sliced into strips against the grain (see note 1 & 2)

·         1 onion, julienned

·         1/2 red bell pepper, julienned

·         2 tablespoons + 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil

For the marinade

·         1 teaspoon cornstarch

·         1 teaspoon Shaoxing rice wine

·         1 teaspoon light soy sauce

·         1 teaspoon pure sesame oil

·         1 teaspoon ginger,

julienned

For the sauce

·         3 tablespoons oyster sauce

·         1 teaspoon light soy sauce

·         1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

·         1/4 teaspoon sugar

·         1 pinch salt

·         1 teaspoon cornstarch

·         3 tablespoons water

Instructions

1.    Marinate the meat first. Leave to combine for at least 10 minutes.

2.    Mix the sauce then set aside.

3.    Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok (or frying pan) over a high heat. Sear the marinated beef until it turns brown (should still be pink inside). Transfer it to a separate plate.

4.    Add onion and pepper to the remaining oil in the wok. Cook for a minute or so.

5.    Put the beef back into the wok. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes until the beef is fully cooked.

6.    Pour in the sauce. Stir until the sauce becomes thick enough to coat the beef and vegetables nicely.

7.    Sprinkle more ground black pepper on top for more intense flavour (optional). Serve hot with steamed rice.
