BLACK PEPPER BEEF AND CABBAGE STIR-FRY
Coarsely crushed black peppercorns star in this quick weeknight dish, which is built primarily from pantry staples. Don't be shy about adding the entire tablespoon of pepper, as it balances out the richness of the beef and adds a lightly spicy bite to the dish. A quick rub of garlic, brown sugar, salt, pepper and cornstarch seasons the beef; the cornstarch helps tenderize the beef and later imparts a silky texture to the sauce. Feel free to marinate the beef up to 8 hours ahead and cook when you're ready. If leftovers remain, tuck them into a crunchy baguette or roll them into a wrap.

BLACK PEPPER BEEF & CABBAGE STIR FRY
Steps:
- Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil. Saute garlic for about 5 seconds, then add ground beef. Stir-fry until beef is evenly brown. Stir in cabbage and pepper, and cook until vegetables are tender, and beef is fully cooked. Stir in soy sauce. Mix together cornstarch and water, and stir in. Season with pepper. Cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened.
Tips:
- To ensure tender and flavorful beef, choose a high-quality cut, such as flank steak or sirloin.
- To save time, slice the beef against the grain before marinating. This will help the beef cook more evenly and quickly.
- Use a flavorful marinade to enhance the taste of the beef. A simple marinade made with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and rice wine will work well.
- If you don't have time to marinate the beef, you can still make a delicious stir-fry by using a flavorful sauce. Just add the sauce to the beef and vegetables in the wok and cook until the beef is tender and the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- To get the best results, use a well-seasoned wok. A seasoned wok will help prevent the food from sticking and will also help to create a smoky flavor.
- Cook the beef in small batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the wok. This will help to ensure that the beef cooks evenly and doesn't become tough.
- Add the vegetables to the wok in order of their cooking time. Harder vegetables, such as carrots and broccoli, should be added first, followed by softer vegetables, such as bell peppers and snow peas.
- Stir-fry the vegetables until they are crisp-tender. You don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Pepper beef stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. The key to a great stir-fry is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and to cook them quickly over high heat. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a restaurant-quality stir-fry at home.
