Instructions
- Slice beef into pieces.
- Mine were about 1/2 inch by 2 inches.
- But make them whatever size you like.
- I was using a sirloin steak this time.
- I cut it in half lengthwise, and sliced each half.
- Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper in a small bowl, mix well
- Add cornstarch, mix until all is coated, set aside
- In a small container, I used a coffee mug, mix together the sauce ingredients.
- Set aside
- Using a stir-fry, wok, or skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil, heat on medium high
- Add about 1/3 of your fresh chillies, sliced or diced, to oil, stir for about 30 seconds
- Add veggies to pan, stir-fry until about done 3-4 minutes, remove and set aside
- Add remaining 2 tablespoon oil to your pan, allow to heat up, about 30 seconds
- Roughly crush the pepper corns, add to the pan, stir for about 1 minute
- Remaining fresh chillies, add them to the pan, stir for 1 minute
- Add beef to pan, stir-fry until brown (not done, just browned), 2 - 3 minutes
- Add peanuts to meat, keep stirring, 1 minute
- Add veggies back in, keep stirring, 2 minutes to warm through.
- Give sauce one final stir, add to pan, keep stirring
- When the sauce has reduced and thickened, reduce heat to medium low, stir 1 minute to allow heat to reduce in pan.
- Add cilantro and green onions, stir for 1 more minute
- Serve.
- We usually serve ours over rice, but I could see this over noodles also.
