Black pepper Scallion beef

When I see Ellie and Shirley posted Ginger Scallion beef, it remind me of the black pepper scallion beef that I cooked during my trip to Gold Coast Australia and inspired me to cook this dish again.

The scallion in Australia is difference in size when compare to scallion here, the usual scallion/spring onion we get here is thin and small but scallion in Australia is large and thick, the taste also sweet and good aroma. The other day I saw the similar scallion selling in Jusco, i bought some to cook this dish again even the scallion price is 3 times higher than usual spring onion that we get here.
