Simple and delicious, this relies on the freshness of the peppercorns, so buy small amounts regularly and crush them just before you’re going to cook with them. I’m very fond of this dish with a bowl of rice and some steamed vegetables as a delicious dinner for two.

Ingredients

  • 350 g (12 oz) beef fillet, thickly sliced across the grain
  • 2 tablespoons vegeta

Method

To make the marinade, mix the shaoxing, kecap manis and oyster sauce. Add the beef and toss until well coated, then leave for 20 minutes.

Heat a wok until just smoking. Add half the oil and, when hot, stir-fry the beef in batches until well browned, then remove. Add the remaining oil to the wok and stir-fry the onion, capsicum, chilli, garlic and pepper until fragrant.
