Soak the beef in diluted salt water for 5 minutes, then rinse with cold water and drain. You can use paper towels or a clean towel to dry the remaining water on the beef.

Slice the beef into thin slices across the grain so that the meat is not tough when eaten.

Wash the bell peppers, cut them in half, remove the seeds inside and then cut them into small pieces. Peel the onions, wash them and cut them into small wedges lengthwise. Peel the ginger and cut them into thin slices. Peel the garlic, crush and mince it.

Marinate the meat with 2 tablespoons of flour and mix well. You can add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to make the meat more colorful and tender.

After marinating the meat for about 5-7 minutes, add half a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of pepper, mix well and leave for another 5-10 minutes for the meat to absorb the flavor.

Step 3 : Stir-fry vegetables

Place the pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and heat it up. When the oil is hot, add the bell peppers and onions, stir-fry over high heat for about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4 : Make black pepper sauce

Put in a small bowl about 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar and 50g black pepper and stir well until the mixture dissolves.

Step 5 : Stir-fry beef

Place the pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and heat. When the oil boils, add the beef and stir-fry until the beef is slightly firm, then remove.

Continue using the cooking oil you used to stir-fry the beef to saute the ginger and garlic. Next, add the sauce mixture to the pan and bring to a simmer.

Add the stir-fried beef and continue to stir-fry until the beef is coated with the sauce. Add the remaining black pepper and mix well.

Beef should be cut into 0.3cm thick pieces and pounded with a hammer until soft, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

Pepper should be roasted until fragrant and only crushed.

When marinating beef, add a little tapioca starch and cooking oil to retain water and make the beef sweet and tender.
