Delicious Black Pepper Beef Recipe - A French Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound beef sirloin (sliced thinly)
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (sliced)
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Beef

    Slice the beef sirloin thinly and marinate it in soy sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes.

    Ensure the beef is cut against the grain for tenderness.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

    Make sure the oil is hot before adding the beef.
  3. Stir-Fry the Beef

    Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, then remove from the pan.

    Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add onion, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

    Add a splash of water to steam the vegetables for faster cooking.
  5. Combine and Serve

    Return the beef to the skillet, add sesame oil, and stir everything together. Cook for an additional minute and serve hot.

    Garnish with sliced green onions for added flavor.
