Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Beef flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Red bell pepper
- 1 whole Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Fermented black beans (rinsed and mashed)
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 60 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
Instructions
Slice the beef flank steak into thin strips against the grain. Place it in a bowl and toss with the soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the red and green bell peppers, slice the onion into strips, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix together the mashed fermented black beans, oyster sauce, water, sugar, and sesame oil to form the black bean sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced onions and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the garlic, ginger, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3 minutes until the peppers are tender but still crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet, and pour in the prepared black bean sauce. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles on the side.
