Chinese Black Pepper Beef

This Chinese-style black pepper beef  is one of my family’s favourite Chinese beef stir fry.  The family gets loads of satisfaction every time I cook this, where the only ‘complaint’ I will get is that I did not cook enough. Thanks to my friend Joyce whom I adapted her original recipe from.

The black pepper marinade recipe can be used for stir frying other meats such as chicken, if you do not take beef. The hot pepper is great for a cool, rainy day and best enjoyed with a bowl of warm steamed rice.

black and white peppercorns

My family uses a combination of black and white peppercorns in our black pepper stir-fries, as we think that a mix of peppercorns taste better. You may always use all black pepper, if preferred. For best results, I buy whole peppercorns and grind or pound them to powder just before cooking – the peppery flavour will be more fragrant this way. If you are short of time though, you can use store-bought powdered pepper.

  1. Hey Hey! I’m glad you really like my simple recipe. I’m really honoured that u decided to feature my humble recipe. Enjoy!

  2. Whoa….you add so much B&W pepper!
    I have cooked black pepper beef some time ago. Need to post soon! Mine has less veg though – just broccoli.

  3. Delicious! My family loved this too! Since I don’t buy beef, I have my easy pork version coming up。:)

  4. This looks great, and not overly complicated.

  5. This black pepper dish looks really yummy with rice. Wow, one tablespoonful of black pepper, is it very spicy? So sad, the other half dun like black pepper-ed dishes. *sob*

  6. Looks great: we’ll be fighting over this one at our house!

  7. This does look like a great recipe — we often take black (and white) pepper for granted, because we put it in everything, but it’s really a star ingredient in this stir fry.

  8. im so gonna try this! Thank you for reminding of the white pepper that i have somewhere behind all other herbs.

  9. Thank you so much for your lovely entry…glad you could participate :-)

  10. This is Hubby’s favorite restaurant dish. Will have to cook this sometime. Thanks for the recipe! :-)
