In a sizzling wok, we stir-fry the marinated beef until it is almost done, skillfully draining any excess oil to keep the dish light and delectable. To elevate the flavors, we stir-fry the brown peppercorns and pickled red chilies in a splash of oil, creating a tantalizing base for the beef and pickles.
Once the beef and pickles are added to the wok, we season the dish with a touch of salt, if needed, to achieve the perfect balance of flavors. The heat infuses the dish, allowing all the ingredients to meld together, resulting in a symphony of taste in every mouthful.
As a final touch, we sprinkle wine toward the wok, enhancing the already delicious flavors and creating a culinary masterpiece that is both hearty and satisfying.
