Cambodian Black Pepper Beef Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) beef (flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Ratanakiri Cambodian black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any cooking oil)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (or your favorite vegetables)

 

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef, half of the black pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sliced onion, stirring until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
  3. Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the wok, cooking until it is browned and cooked through. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  5. Season: Sprinkle the remaining black pepper over the stir-fry. Adjust seasoning with salt and additional soy sauce if needed.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro or basil leaves, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
