CHINESE BLACK PEPPER BEEF RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• We'll start by trimming the fat off the edges of our beef fillet.
• In a bowl, we'll mix black pepper, cornstarch, water, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine, and red wine.
• Before we mix the beef with the marinade, we'll want to squeeze as much fluid out as we can. One of the main goals of this dish is to avoid having excess fluid or sauce pooling when we're done cooking it.
• For our vegetables, we'll be mincing garlic, and slicing up a variety of bell peppers and red onion for color. For each bell pepper, we'll only be using about 1/4 to 1/3 of each, so if you'd rather just stick to one color and use up a whole entire bell pepper, that's fine too.
• Next, we'll create the sauce for our black pepper beef. We'll be mixing cornstarch, water, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, red wine, salt, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing cooking wine.
• We'll set our stove to high heat and let our wok heat up for about 2-3 minutes. Once our wok is hot enough, we'll add about 2 tbsp of corn oil, or any oil with a high smoke point, until the oil is shimmering, or forming ripples across the surface.
• Restaurants are able to get away with tossing everything all at once, since they have much more powerful stoves and larger woks.
• My dad always tries a taste to see if it needs any adjustments.

Steps:

• Cut the beef steak into 1cm wide strips. Marinate with all the marinating seasonings including soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper, sugar, Chinese cooking wine and cornstarch for 15 minutes. Mix in sesame oil just before start frying. 
• Add cooking oil in a large pan until the oil can evenly cover the bottom of the pan. spread the beef strips in. Let them stay for around 5 to 6 seconds and gently stir them several times until the beef strips change color. Transfer the beef out and leave around 1 tablespoon of the oil in.
• Fry garlic until aromatic. Fry green peppers and red onion until slightly soft (do not kill them). Add a small pinch of salt. Return beef strips back. Mix well. Spread freshly ground black pepper.
• Serve hot with noodles or steamed rice.
