Ingredients

600 g Beef Cubes (about 4 cups)
1 large Green Bell Pepper (cut into chunks)
1 large Red Bell Pepper (cut into chunks)
1 large White Onion (cut into wedges)
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
120 ml Black Pepper Sauce (about 8 tbsp)
15 g Corn Flour (about 1 tbsp)
2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

1
Slice the beef cubes in half if they are too large, aiming for bite-sized pieces.
2
In a bowl, toss the beef cubes with the corn flour and 1 tablespoon of the black pepper sauce to coat them slightly.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat until very hot.
4
Add the beef cubes in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until browned, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
5
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6
Add the chunky sliced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and white onion to the pan.
7
Stir-fry the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender but still have a good crunch.
8
Return the cooked beef cubes to the pan along with the remaining black pepper sauce.
9
Toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce is bubbly, hot, and evenly coats the meat and vegetables.
10
Serve immediately alongside hot rice.

Chef's Tips

•If your black pepper sauce is very thick, you can splash in a tablespoon or two of water to help it coat the ingredients evenly.
•Make sure your pan is very hot before adding the beef; this ensures a nice brown sear rather than steaming the meat.
•To save even more time, chop all your vegetables before you start cooking, as the stir-frying process goes extremely fast.
