Black Pepper Beef With Green Beans Food

BEEF WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together marinade ingredients (soy sauce - pepper).
• Slice steak with the grain into 2-inch strips and then across the grain into 1/2 inch pieces (the directions say 1/8 inch pieces but mine were closer to 1/2 inch to 1 inch) and then add them to marinade, toss, and set aside.
• Heat one tablespoon oil in wok over medium high heat until hot. Add beans and stir for 1 minute. Add water and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes. Transfer beans to bowl.
• Add remaining oil (see note in description) to wok and increase heat to high. Add ginger and stir until oil is hot and ginger sizzles (1 minute).
• Add onion and stir for one minute.
• Add beef mixture to wok and stir until beef is done (2-5 minutes).
• Return beans and liquid to wok and stir until mixed and heated through. Discard ginger.

BEEF AND GREEN PEPPER WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut beef into large strips
• Marinade the beef strips with cornflour, salt, soy sauce and oil. Mix and set aside. You can cook straight away or leave for up to 30 minutes.
• Heat wok on high heat (without oil). When hot, fry the beef on high heat for 1 minute 30 seconds and set aside.
• Heat oil on high heat in wok until hot.
• Fry onions and the green peppers for 30 seconds.
• Add the diced garlic and the fermented black beans and fry for 30 seconds.
• Add the beef strips (be careful you don't add the juice that has come out of it) and fry for 30 seconds.
• Add in 2 tbsp water, the sugar and salt and mix in.
• Mix together cornflour mixture and slowly pour it in a little at a time. Once the sauce thickens stop adding. If you've added too much and the sauce is too thick, add a little water back in to loosen it.
