Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

2 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece ginger, minced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a tablespoon of crushed black peppercorns. Toss well to coat and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Prepare the Coating: After marination, sprinkle the cornstarch over the beef, mixing until the pieces are evenly coated. This will help achieve a crispy texture.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

        Sear the Beef: Add the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned and crispy. Remove and set aside.

          Stir-fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften.

            Combine Everything: Return the beef to the pan and toss everything together. Season with the remaining crushed black peppercorns and adjust the seasoning if needed. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.

              Serve: Transfer the spicy black pepper beef to a serving dish, garnishing with chopped green onions. Serve hot over cooked rice.
