BLACK PEPPER BEEF

Hei Jiao Niu Liu (黑椒牛柳), or Black Pepper Beef, is a fast, easy stir-fry made with beef, onions, and peppers seasoned with oyster sauce and loads of black pepper. My take on this Chinese classic features big juicy chunks of steak, which gives the dish more substance and a bold, beefy taste.

Ingredients

6 grams whole black peppercorns ((2 teaspoons))
350 grams beef tenderloin ((or other steak cut, cut into 3/4-inch cubes))
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon potato starch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
140 grams onion ((~1 small onion, cut into 1/2-inch squares))
100 grams bell pepper ((1/2 red, 1/2 green))
12 grams garlic ((~2 large cloves, chopped))

Steps:

Put the black peppercorns in a mortar and use a pestle to crack the peppercorns coarsely. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, put the peppercorns in a freezer bag, and use a rolling pin to crush them.
In a bowl, whisk the oyster sauce, Shaoxing, soy sauce, sesame oil, and most of the black pepper (saving a little to garnish). Add the potato starch and mix that in until there are no lumps left. Stir the beef in, to coat evenly and let it marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Once all the prep is done, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the vegetable oil, and then use tongs to add the beef in a single layer. Try to leave as much of the marinade in the bowl as possible.
Fry the beef on one side until golden brown, and then flip each piece and fry the second side until browned.
Dump the onions, bell pepper, and garlic into the pan and turn the heat to high. Stir-fry, tossing the contents of the pan periodically to ensure everything cooks evenly.
When the onions become translucent, add the remaining marinade and toss everything together until the black pepper beef is shiny and evenly coated with sauce.
Serve with rice and garnish with the remaining black pepper (to taste).

Time 35m

Yield Serves 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

9 oz beef sirloin, fat removed and meat cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tbsp of cornstarch
2 tbsps of peanut oil
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
11 oz mixture of sliced snow peas, broccoli, sugar snap peas, baby bok choy, red cabbage, ribbons of carrot, and baby scallions
Dash of light soy sauce or to taste
1 tbsp of dark soy sauce
1 tbsp of light soy sauce
1 tbsp of Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 pinches of ground black pepper

Steps:

For the marinade: Mix together the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl, then add the beef and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 20 minutes to marinate, then remove from the marinade (reserving it) and dust with the cornstarch.
For the stir-fry: Heat a wok over high heat, and when it starts to smoke, add half the peanut oil. Add the ginger and stir-fry for a second or so, then add the vegetable mixture and toss together in the wok. Add a drop of water to create a little steam for cooking the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute and transfer to a plate. Place the wok back over the heat and add the remaining peanut oil, followed by the beef. Let the meat settle for a few seconds, then stir in the wok for 1-2 minutes. Add the stir-fried vegetables and toss together with the beef. Season with additional light soy sauce, then transfer to a serving plate and eat immediately.

Tips:

Use a good quality steak for the best results. Look for a steak that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat.
Make sure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. If you like your steak rare, cook it for about 2-3 minutes per side. For medium-rare, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. For medium, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. And for well-done, cook for about 5-6 minutes per side.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak. If you do, the steak will not cook evenly.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the steak more tender.
Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This beef with black pepper sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The steak is cooked to perfection and the black pepper sauce is flavorful and rich. Serve this dish with your favorite sides and enjoy!
