Black Pepper Beef (黑椒牛柳條, hēi jiāo niú liǔ tiáo)

Very delicious, although you should keep an eye on the chilli peppers. We added little more than a tablespoon of red chillies, and no green chillies at all, and it was hot! But still delicious. Don’t be mislead by the portion sizes “ I believe that they take into account that several dishes would be served to a party of four. We served this dish together with Good Luck Fish Cake, Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce and plain rice to three, and I doubt we could have fed four with this dish alone.

Edited 6 April 2011: Upgraded to 5 stars - we returned to this recipe again and again because it's so good! Much depends on your stir-frying techniques - do not overcook the meat!
