When I first cooked black pepper chicken, I followed everything written in the recipe. I provided almost all the ingredients, such as onions, garlic, black pepper, cornstarch, red and green peppers, except for Worcestershire sauce, which I replaced with oyster sauce. I also add salad leaves for vegetables.
Then after some times, I simplified the recipe to my own version, to make it more practical and cheaper 😜
This time I cooked black pepper beef using only the main ingredients, not using additional ingredients. I also use a fat slice for the meat, which is still half of the pack (the other half had been cooked to become bulgogi).
Oke, let's bring it on.
Preparation
Main ingredients:
- Beef 250 gr
- ½ onion cloves, chopped
- 2 tbsp black pepper (depending on taste), ground coarsely
- 2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
- Soy sauce
- Oil for sauteing
- Salt and flavoring
Optional ingredients:
- Peppers
- Cornstarch
- Worcestershire sauce / oyster sauce
Note:
I didn’t use those three optional ingredients. I replaced the last two ingredients with an instant black pepper sauce.
How to cook
- Coat the meat with soy sauce until it is absorbed, about 30 minutes (But I skipped it).
- Heat the oil. Sauté garlic and onions.
- Add meat, give enough water, stir until it changes color.
- Add soy sauce, black pepper, black pepper sauce, water, salt. Adjust the taste.
- Stir until cooked and the sauce thickens. Ready to serve.
Note:
In some recipes there is a different order: first, stir-frying the meat until it is slightly cooked, then add the garlic and onions. So the onions are still somewhat intact when served.
Well, maybe I'll try a different order next time. And also, I'll add a little more vegetables to make it look fresher.
Are you interested in making it?
Thank you for stopping by and reading this post. See you again!
