Black Pepper Been and Onion


 We are lucky enough to live just north of Houston, Texas.  We also are lucky enough to have a China Town and know where it's at AND not be too scared to go into places that really don't appear that we should be in there eating.. We have discovered this dish in our China Town and LOVE it.. you have to enjoy some spice in your food for this one. 
I can't always just jump into the suburban and run down to the place that cooks this, so I had to learn to make it at home.. after trying a few different versions of making it.. I can proudly say now that my hubby has informed me that my latest version beats China Town's version and taste like it came from some 90 year old Asian woman's kitchen!  Yes, I am beaming with pride on that compliment.. lol



- 2 lb beef (tenderloin cut preferred), sliced thinly and diagonally (against the grain)
- 4 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 lg onion, cut to thin half-crescent rings
- 2 tsp ginger powder
- 2 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
- 3 tbsp coarsely grounded black pepper (adjust to your liking)
- 1 tsp grounded white pepper (adjust to your liking)
- 4 green onions, diced small
- 2 tbsp bean curd.. see picture for some help on that one.. I had to use picture in China Town market to find the product.
