Wash the beef, pat dry, and cut into strips. Mix with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and pepper, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Meanwhile, trim the beans and cut them into 4 cm long pieces. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the beans in the boiling water for about 8 minutes. Drain and refresh in cold water. Finely chop the lemongrass and mix with the curry paste, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Heat the oil in a wok and briefly fry the beef until hot, then reduce the heat, add the beans, and deglaze with the sauce. Sauté for another 1 minute. Serve with rice.
