Black Pepper Beef

Pat the beef dry and slice it thinly across the grain. Slice the onion and crush the garlic.

Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned.

Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until it starts to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Pour in the soy sauce and add the black pepper. Toss everything together for 1 minute until the beef is coated and the sauce clings to it.

Taste and adjust the pepper or soy sauce, then serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
