Black Pepper Honey Food

BEEF STIR FRY WITH HONEY AND BLACK PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the Sauce ingredients in a bowl.
• Heat the oil in a wok or large heavy based skillet over high heat until it is smoking.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook for 1 minute or until the onion becomes translucent. Keep it moving so the garlic doesn't burn.
• Add the beef and stir fry for 1 minute until just cooked to your liking, then remove into bowl.
• Turn the heat down to medium high, pour in Sauce - it will start simmering very quickly! Let it cook for 1 minute or so until it becomes syrupy - the bubbles will be larger and caramel colour.
• Add the beef and onion back into the wok, along with any juices pooled on the plate. Toss in the sauce until just warmed through - 1 minute at most. Don't overcook the beef - that would be tragic!
• Serve immediately with rice - or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice!

BLACK PEPPER HONEY

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients in a small bowl until blended.

MELON AND OLIVE MINI SKEWERS WITH BLACK PEPPER HONEY

Steps:

• For the honey: Stir together the honey, 1/4 cup water, the pepper, thyme and rosemary in a small saute pan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Strain the honey into a small bowl and set aside while you assemble the skewers.
• For the skewers: Using a melon baller, scoop out 24 rounds from the peeled melon. Thread each skewer with a melon ball, basil leaf, mozzarella ball, another basil leaf and an olive. To serve, place the skewers on a platter and drizzle with the honey.

BLACK PEPPER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey until combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified.

HONEY AND BLACK PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Heat a wok until very hot, then add half the oil, swirling to coat.
• Fry the beef in batches for about 3 minutes each batch or until browned.
• Reheat the wok, and add the rest of the oil, and stir fry the onion and peas until softened.
• Remove.
• Add the honey, sauces and pepper, bring to the boil and simmer for about 3 minutes to reduce and thicken a little.
• Return the meat and vegetables to the wok, and toss for about 3 minutes to heat and combine.
• Serve at once over rice.
