How to Make Beef With Black Bean Sauce
- In a food processor or blender, combine 1 cup black bean paste, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional). Blend until completely smooth.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into thin strips, and stir-fry until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and stir-fry until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1 cup broccoli florets, and 1/2 cup sliced carrots (or your choice of vegetables) and stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- Pour the black bean sauce over the vegetables and bring to a simmer.
- Return the beef to the skillet and stir to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Cook until the sauce has thickened and is glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
