Ever since Pepper Lunch got a resurrection and opened up a branch at i-City Mall near where we stay, Jean and I have been going there a few times for their beef pepper rice.

Then one day, she had the brilliant idea and said “Why don’t we try to make this at home?“, and I replied “You mean why don’t you make this at home?“… so I.. I mean, we did just that. And the result was awesome, so I want to jot down the recipe for my future reference, and maybe you may find it useful too.

    I can’t remember if I had pepper lunch before but your version definitely attract me to try if I see the restaurant. Or perhaps I can duplicate at home too like you, but my cast iron is mini one, only can cook half bow of rice, haha!
