A recombination echo phenomenon of weakly coupled electron-hole pairs in disordered semiconductors is suggested. The time-domain calculation of spin-dependent recombination within such pairs indicates that dephasing beat oscillations can take place in a magnetic field and a phase recovery due to a resonant microwave pulse is possible. This effect, which we call the quantum-beat recombination echo, is illustrated for different pulse sequences. Applications for material characterisation and quantum computing are suggested.
