Stir-fried Black Pepper Beef

A wonderful zichar staple that you can recreate at home!

Whenever Sunday comes around, it's dinner together with the family and Mum often makes this since beef is a family favourite. This is also a zichar dish that's easy to whip up within 10 minutes, especially when you have a roaring wok going on the stove!

One of the ingredients that makes it so delicious of course is the Lee Kum Kee black pepper sauce, which gives the beef its wonderful, peppery taste and aroma. Not to mention the white onions which gives the beef extra sweetness and that distinctive zing of ginger which if you ask me, is a key component of many Chinese stir-fries.

This goes best with a bowl of steaming white rice. Yummy!
