Simple Black Pepper Beef

Here’s a wonderful and simple recipe for black pepper beef.  Let this be a reminder that not every recipe needs to be the most complex dish in the world.  Remember, the key to cooking in a wok is to use high heat – this usually means that small, thin cuts of meat are going to be done very quickly since they have a high surface-area-to-volume ratio.  Cooking with high heat can be intimidating because you don’t want to burn yourself, but if you turn it down, you may have to cook vegetables longer, resulting in undesirable mushiness.  Remember that you don’t want to leave the pan unattended – when in doubt, just keep stirring!
