Black Pepper Beef Recipe

Black Pepper Beef Recipe

600g fillet of beef, sliced or cubed

2 large onions, peeled and sliced

1 tablespoon black peppercorns, pounded

3 cups vegetable oil

3 slices ginger, shredded

4 tablespoons chopped garlic

½ teaspoon salt

2 to 3 teaspoons oyster sauce

1 teaspoon light soy sauce

200g baby kale or kailan

Method:

Marinate beef with light soy sauce.  Heat vegetable oil in pan over high heat.  When smoking hot, deep-fry beef for 1 to 2 minutes until color changes; remove with a large slotted spoon.  In a wok, add pounded peppercorns and dry-fry (without oil) for 2 to 4 minutes over low heat until fragrant; set aside.  Clean wok with paper towels.  Add 3 tablespoons oil from the pan.  Heat oil and stir-fry ginger and garlic over high heat for 2 minutes until lightly browned.  Add sliced onions and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until translucent.  Add peppercorns, beef, salt and oyster sauce.  Stir-fry until well-cooked and the mixture is dry.  Serve on a bed of lightly-blanched baby kale.
