BEEF WITH HONEY & BLACK PEPPER RECIPE
It's Chinese New Year, why not celebrate with a traditional chinese and tuck into our delicious Beef with Honey & Black Pepper and Egg Fried Rice recipe.
INGREDIENTS
Sauce
2.5 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp honey
1.5 tbsp oyster sauce
1.5 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (mirin)
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp crushed peppercorns
Stir fry
2 tbsp peanut oil
1 clove of garlic, crushed
2 peppers, sliced
½ bunch spring onions, sliced
200g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
500g sliced beef (try and use a tender cut, fillet or sirloin is the best)
METHOD
Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
Heat the oil in a wok over high heat until it is smoking. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Keep it moving so the garlic doesn't burn.
Add the mushrooms and peppers and stir fry for two minutes. Add the beef and stir fry for 1 minute, until cooked to your liking. Remove to a bowl.
Turn the heat down to medium high, pour in the sauce - it will start simmering very quickly. Let it cook for 1 minute or so until it becomes syrupy - the bubbles will be larger and caramel color.
Add the beef and onion back into the wok, along with any juices. Toss it in the sauce until warmed through - 1 minute at most. Don't overcook the beef.
