• Onion, sliced
• Red and green chilies, sliced
• Cornstarch, dissolved in water
• Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
• Soy sauce
• White and black pepper
• Seasoning (optional)

Steps:

1. Marinate the Beef:
   In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with minced garlic and soy sauce. Let it marinate for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. Sauté Aromatics:
   Heat a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic, sliced ginger, and sliced onion. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent.

3. Cook the Beef:

4. Add Chilies and Thicken Sauce:
   Once the beef is cooked and the sauce has reduced, add the sliced red and green chilies. Stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce.

5. Final Adjustments:
   Cook for an additional few minutes until the sauce has reached your desired consistency and the chilies are slightly softened. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

6. Serve:
   Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy your flavorful Black Pepper Beef Stir-Fry!
