Beef And Black Bean Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the thick layer of fat running down the side of the steaks and discard. Slice the steak into 1cm-thick, long strips and toss with the cornflour and some seasoning.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat then add the steak, frying for 3-5 mins or until golden brown on the outside. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion and peppers to the pan and fry for 6-7 mins or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for a further min. Return the beef to the pan and stir through the black bean sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar and 2 tbsp water to loosen a little. Bring to a simmer and then remove from the heat.
• Serve the stir-fry in deep bowls with mounds of sticky rice and top with coriander, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat oil in wok or large frying pan.
• Stir-fry onion until tender.
• Add steak and stir-fry 3-4 minute.
• Stir in beans and mushrooms, stir-fry 2 minutes.
• Add black bean sauce and stock, stirring.
• When sauce boils add sprouts.
• Serve immediately with cooked noodles or rice.

Steps:

• Fill a bowl with ice; add enough salted water to make an ice bath. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bitter melon in the boiling water until tender yet firm, about 2 minutes; strain the melon. Place the melon into the ice bath; allow to sit until bitterness is extracted, about 1 hour. Drain melon.
• Whisk 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and baking soda together in a bowl. Add beef and toss to evenly coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Heat wok, or a large skillet, on high until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Lay beef evenly across the bottom of the wok; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove beef. Pour in 1 teaspoon of oil; allow to heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in bitter melon; cook until combined, about 1 minute.
• Stir black bean sauce into melon mixture. Stir in remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Pour in 3/4 cup water; cover and let simmer until flavors combine, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and mix in remaining cornstarch and 1 teaspoon water and stir until thickened.

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl, stir through steak cubes to coat well and marinate for 30-60 minutes.
• For the sauce heat oil in a large saucepan and lightly saute the onion and garlic until soft.
• Remove from heat, add all other sauce ingredients and mix well. At this stage if you like you can place the sauce in the refrigerator for later.
• Heat oil in a wok or frypan and cook beef until done to your liking, it won't be cooked much further so make sure it is done but being cubed it doesn't take long to cook.
• Return sauce to medium heat and stir until sauce starts to thicken. Allow it to bubble but not boil hard, this step will take about 5 minutes.
• Place cooked beef in the saucepan and warm through and mix for a few minutes.
• Serve over cooked plain rice with generous lashings of the sauce.
