In the mean time, Chef Evans was kind enough to share with us one of his favorite family recipes for you all to enjoy:
“My family loves a Chinese stir-fry as a mid-week cook up. And the best news about my black pepper beef is that it takes only 20 minutes to get it on the table. The amount of crushed black pepper used here may seem like a lot, but it is actually the star of this dish, so don’t skimp on it.” – Chef Pete Evans
