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.
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.

So I had the chance to make over the weekend, minus the celery & bell peppers, and it’s really really goooddd!
I modified it a little (added butter) so I could have more sauce.
I think the ginger & the sesame oil made it yummy :D
I’m glad u like it! great idea about adding a bit butter, I will try it next time. In my opinion nothing much can go wrong with this much pepper & sesame oil hehe, this is a guilty pleasure dish for me.
if i replace beef with chicken fillet (or wld you recommend any other parts of the chix?) .. do i need to marinate the fillet before frying?
Hi min, I think you can marinade the chicken with a bit of light soy sauce first if you like :-)
This recipe is GREAT!! :XO: My hubby loved it and this has become his favourite dish after I’ve cooked it. Thanks for sharing this great recipe! :D
:XO: :lol: I’ve always love black pepper beef.Thanks for the recipe!
Hello!
My bf loves this dish so much his eyes practically sparkle whenever I tell him I’m gonna make it for him. I’ve made it using a diff recipe but urs is definitely simpler (less ingredients) so I’m gonna try it and see if it’s just as good or even better. Love the fact it contains so little and yet taste so dang good!
Hi Noob Cook,
I’m a fellow singaporean leavinf overseas. I chanced upon this wonderful website that transports me back to the old motherland ;-) each time i get on it. Thank you so much for all your lovely posts. I have been totally inspired by your enthusiasm and lovely pics of the dishes you cooked.
A lot of your dishes are very similar to what i have been brought up eating and everytime i feel homesick i visit your blog.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep cooking and posting!
By the way, which part of the world are you living in now?
Best regards
