Quick Easy Beef In Black Bean Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Using a very sharp knife slice beef very thinly diagonally to make little mini fillets.
• It doesn't matter if it is cut roughly as long as it is thin so that the beef turns out tender.
• Prepare all vegetables as stated in ingredients list or you can choose to cut them however you would like them presented.
• Have all ingredients handy beside cooktop.
• Blend cornflour into beef stock making sure there are no lumps.
• Set aside.
• Heat oil in wok or large fry pan on high heat.
• (Tip: heat the pan first before adding oil; this prevents oil from burning).
• Brown beef in batches.
• Put aside.
• Clean out wok with paper towel and add vegetables all at once.
• Stir fry vegetable until just tender but not overcooked.
• Remove from pan.
• Add your black bean sauce, sugar, fish oil and beef stock into pan and stir quickly to make a sauce.
• Sauce will thicken.
• Sometimes depending on how much liquid there is you may need to add more liquid if it is too thick or add more blended cornflour if it is too thin.
• It depends on your taste.
• Add beef and vegetables and stir-fry for a further minute if you like your vegetables crunchy or simmer on low for five minutes if you like them softer.

Steps:

• Pat meat dry, then toss with 3 teaspoons cornstarch. Stir together broth, ginger, black-bean sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a bowl. Measure 2 tablespoons water in a separate small bowl and set aside.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) or wok over high for 3 minutes. Swirl in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding pan, brown meat, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Swirl in remaining vegetable oil and add broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add reserved water and toss until broccoli is bright green and tender, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Add white and light-green parts of scallion to skillet along with meat and any accumulated juices. Stir in black-bean-sauce mixture and toss until evenly coated and sauce has thickened, about 30 seconds. Serve with rice, sprinkled with scallion greens.

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.
