  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp Chinese cooking wine (optional)
  • ½ tbsp light soy sauce
  • ½ -inch piece of ginger, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp black bean and garlic sauce (Lee Kum Kee brand is great for this)

  • Handful of chopped spring onions
  • Serve with 120g Tilda Jasmine Rice

How to make Beef in Black Bean Sauce

  1. In a large bowl, add the sliced steak along with the baking soda, corn flour, Chinese cooking wine and soy sauce. Ensure the steak is thoroughly coated and leave to marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the vegetables.

  2. In a large wok, heat 1 tbsp cooking oil on a high heat and toss the marinated beef in. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until mostly cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. In the same wok, heat the rest of the cooking oil and add the ginger and onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly translucent. Add in the bell peppers and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

  4. Add the beef back in, along with the black bean and garlic sauce. Mix thoroughly and allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  5. Throw in the green part of the spring onions just after turning off the heat. Toss through one last time and season to taste.

  6. Bring a pan of water to a boil and add the rice. Simmer for 10-12 minutes. Drain well and serve.

  7. Serve piping hot alongside Tilda Fragrant Jasmine Rice.
