How to make Beef in Black Bean Sauce
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Add the beef back in, along with the black bean and garlic sauce. Mix thoroughly and allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
-
Throw in the green part of the spring onions just after turning off the heat. Toss through one last time and season to taste.
-
Bring a pan of water to a boil and add the rice. Simmer for 10-12 minutes. Drain well and serve.
-
Serve piping hot alongside Tilda Fragrant Jasmine Rice.
