Stir Fried Black Pepper Beef with Strawberry


The other day we tried this dish at a Chinese restaurant  nearby (As recommended by Missyblurkit) . I was very impressed with this black pepper beef with strawberry, juicy beef with strong black pepper aroma and sweetish tangy strawberry. Few weeks later, i imatated this at home..and the taste is almost close to that restaurant.

Delicious beef dish you have cooked here. Hmm....and using strawberryberry in beef dish is really something so unique and special. I loves to eat beef but have to cut down red meat. Looking forward to see all your beautiful pictures from now on.

Delish! Love the red contrast of strawberries! You know I saw a similar recipe on a recipe book recently but with pork ribs. I was tempted to try but didn't have strawberries at home, haha! Ok, will take note of your recipe too, thanks ya!

Sonia, you will get hooked on taking photos with your new toy, and later buy more camera accesories! Enjoy, its really fun. This recipe is very colourful, can't quite imagine the taste, but am sure it is nice.

with strawberry, something new to me...

Sem said...

it looks so good, i love black pepper beef and, by the way, what is dark caramel sauce,is different from dark soy sauce?

ping said...

That's new to me! It does look very delicious and the strawberries certainly add a nice color. I can imagine the tang of the strawberries offsetting the pepper and saltiness ... nice!

Ngo Family Farm said...

Sounds and looks wonderful, and the strawberry is a nice twist :) It reminds me of Vietnamese "shaking beef" (Bo luc lac). Thanks for sharing your recipe.

yvonne said...

Beef and strawberries, a unique combination. Never had it though :)

Jessie-CookingMoments said...

Nice nice photos, very bright & like the "blur blur" part, hahaha! So are these photos taken by the special lens that you told me b4, the one that you said very good with food one? In regard of this dish, my mother-in-law also cooked it few weeks ago & she said that she learned it from the TV cooking show. I didn't have it becoz I don't eat it becoz I don't eat beef mah!

Casey said...

Veronica said...

This is a very unique dish. I never would have imagine strawberries in a savoury dish. Your dish looks very appetising indeed.

Li Shuan said...

U know what, before I read to the last line, I have a feeling that these photos aren't the same as usual. Can tell the depth of the object and the sharpness of the image. Very nice.... Don't know when I can own one...aiiii...

Back to the dish....very interesting dish.The colour of the dish is good and I can smell from far....

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Sem, you can check the photo of caramel sauce in my pantry page.Hokkein called this "O Tau Yu", hehehe..

Ana Regalado said...

Sonia , that is one drool-worthy dish ! Love it ! Oh ! I'm also drooling at that new SLR ! lol

Baby Sumo said...

Mmmmm, the strawberry adds such a vibrant colour to this dish. :)

daphne said...

I'm starting to be warm towards sweet and savoury together. The tart of the strawberry probably would have brought out the peppery taste! I'm glad you experimented and shared with us your find!

Little Corner of Mine said...

I love the color, so beautiful1

Shu Han said...

WOAHH beef and strawberry? never would have believed the two would work together if I hadn't seen you do it myself!

Chris said...

Sonia,

Love the gorgeous photos! And the dish - what an interesting combination...will definitely file it away for future use. :D

Saraswathy Balakrishnan said...

looks yummy and love the idea of adding strawberries with meat:)

WendyinKK said...

Woah, the taste must be explosive.
Once I saw a TVB cooking show, the chef was Annie, and she cooked pork ribs with strawberry.

QembarDelites said...

Very refreshing look! I haven't tried cooking with fruits before, very interesting!

mui mui said...
