Black Pepper Beef with Spring Onions

Beef, Onions, Black Pepper. What could wrong? Nothing! This is one of my favourite mum's cooking, although I cook it slightly different than she did. I added spring onions... Just can't get enough of the oniony flavour...

I also tried the instant Black Pepper seasoning from Maggi, it tastes good as well. Either way, it's really simple to cook up this beefy dish and tastes really good with plain rice or fried rice.

:: Black Pepper Beef with Spring Onions ::

350gm Beef strips
2 stalks spring onion, cut in 1 inch lengths
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
1 tablespoon black pepper corns, freshly grounded
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
1 cup water

Bring the water to boil, add beef strips, soy sauce, oyster sauce and cook until water reduced to half, about 20 minutes on medium heat. Then add worcestershire sauce, grounded black pepper and onions. Cook further until the water further thickens, making the gravy, and add spring onions. Cook for 3 minutes (more or less) and serve warm. Garnish with fresh strips of yellow onions.

Note: When the water is reduced, taste the gravy and adjust accordingly. You can add more dark soy sauce or add some salt or sugar, or add more pepper. The gravy should be dark brown in colour. Don't dry up the gravy as it might possibly make the meat taste dry.
