Amazing Chinese Style Black Pepper Beef for you to make and enjoy at home and all ready in less than 20 minutes.

Black Pepper Beef is probably one of my favourite dishes to order from the Chinese, I love that pepper rich sauce that coats the meat and it's perfect over some plain steamed rice.

Gotta love the simple dishes that taste good, right?

This dish is simple in every way, using only a handful of ingredients, you will want to make it again and again.

Crunchy celery is the popular vegetable added to this dish, at least this side of the Atlantic anyway, but if you are not keen on celery, you can replace with another vegetable of your choice, bok choy is a great choice, or some onion and green peppers.

I love the taste of the celery against the peppery beef. It's a really delicious combination.

Don't fancy beef? This dish is great with some chicken too. I recommend using strips of chicken thigh, rather than breast meat though, as chicken thigh will stay nice and tender.

Ingredients

300g (10.5oz) of frying strip beef
2 teaspoon of grated ginger
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 tbs of soy sauce
3 sticks of celery, chopped
1 small onion, sliced
¼ cup (4 tbs) of oyster sauce

½ tbs of granulated sweetener (I use sukrin: 1)
1 teaspoon of black pepper
cooking oil spray

Instructions

Add the beef, soy sauce, ginger and garlic to a bowl and toss to coat.
Heat a frying pan over a medium high heat with cooking oil spray. Wait for the pan to get hot, then add the beef into the pan and just sear to brown, remove and set aside.
Wipe the frying pan clean, spray with some more cooking oil spray, add the onion and celery and fry for a couple of minutes.
Add back in the beef, along with oyster sauce, stock, sweetener and black pepper. Mix the cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of water and mix to form a slurry. Add this into the sauce and heat until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!!
