Thai Black Pepper Beef Stir-Fry
Ingredients
- 300 grams of thinly sliced beef
- 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 handful of Thai basil leaves
- 2 green onions cut into 3 cm pieces
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed
- Oil for cooking
For the sauce:
- 2 tbsp of oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp of soy sauce
- 2 tbsp of rice wine (Chinese cooking wine)
- 1 tbsp of Maggi seasoning sauce
- 6-8 tbsp of water
- 1 tsp of black pepper freshly ground (or more if you like a stronger, peppery sauce)
Instructions
Sauce:
- Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.
Cooking:
- Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan and stir-fry the onion and bell peppers.
- As soon as the onion and bell peppers are tender-crisp, increase the heat and add the sliced beef, green onions, and crushed garlic. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, tossing everything together well.
- Add the sauce and Thai basil leaves. Toss everything together and cook for 1 minute.
- Adjust the seasoning if necessary and serve immediately.
Notes
For really tender beef, keep the cooking time very short. Don't let the sliced beef simmer in the sauce. Sear everything quickly over high heat.
