Crispy Beef with Honey and Pepper

The first time I had this beef dish was when my sister-in-law invited my family to a dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. The dinner consisted of a multi-course meal and this crispy beef with honey and pepper was one of the dishes served. Everyone loved it because it looked appetizing and was also crispy and delectably sweet. Ever since then, I would always order this beef dish, along with my favorite chow mein when I order from this restaurant. My family loves this dish so much; I decided to recreate it at home. I had the chance last week when I was off from work. The recipe consists of a few ingredients and the steps are easy to follow. This crispy beef is incredibly delicious and very satisfying. Love it!
