Ingredients
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp dry sherry
- 2 garlic
- 1 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 500g/1lb 2oz beef
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 red peppers
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 50-75ml/2-3fl oz water
- 2 tbsp groundnut oil
- 200g/7oz basmati rice
- 2 large free-range eggs
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 4 spring onions
- 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
Instructions
- For the black pepper beef, whisk together the light soy sauce, dry sherry, garlic, cracked black pepper and cornflour in a bowl. Add the beef slices and stir well to coat the beef in the marinade. Cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- At the end of the marinating time, remove the beef from the marinade (discard the marinade). Heat a wok until nearly smoking, then add the vegetable oil and beef. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes, or until just browned all over. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
- Add the peppers to the wok and stir fry for 1-2 minutes, then add the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil and water. Cook for one minute, then return the beef to the wok and stir fry for a further minute. Keep warm.
- For the egg fried rice, heat a clean wok until hot and add the oil. Add the cooked, cooled rice and stir fry for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Lightly mix the beaten eggs and sesame oil together, then pour over the rice. Continue to stir fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking up any large lumps of egg and rice with a wooden spoon, until the egg is set. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir in the spring onions and coriander.
- To serve, spoon the black pepper beef onto serving plates and pile the egg fried rice alongside.
