About

I love the combination of bell pepper and black pepper in Chinese stir-fries. These two ingredients, coupled with the right type of meat will often guarantee a successful dish.

If you love the sweetness and slightly charred taste of caramelized onions, stir-fry the onions and bell pepper slightly longer before adding the beef to the stir-fry. You will be rewarded with a richer flavored Black Pepper Beef.
