Method
Marinate the Beef
- In a large bowl, combine the sirloin cubes with cornflour, baking soda, minced garlic, and a pinch of ground Kampot pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the beef evenly, then cover and let the mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Prepare the Sauces
- While the beef is marinating, prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sweet dark soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine lime juice and extra ground pepper for the dipping sauce.
Heat the Wok
- Place a wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering.
Sear the Beef
- Add the marinated beef to the hot wok in batches, searing each batch for about 30 seconds on each side until browned. Transfer cooked beef to a plate.
Cook the Onion and Combine
- After removing the beef, add more oil if necessary. Toss in red onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in stir-fry sauce, return beef to wok, and cook for additional 30 seconds.
Rest and Serve
- Turn off the heat and let the Cambodian Pepper Beef rest in the pan for a minute. Serve on lettuce leaves with tomato slices and steamed rice, alongside the tangy dipping sauce.

Notes
