Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free black bean sauce
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 120 ml Water
- 2 Scallions, chopped
- 4 cups Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into bite-size strips.
In a medium bowl, season the beef slices with salt, ground black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well until the beef is well-coated. Add sesame oil and mix again; set aside for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef slices in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add the gluten-free black bean sauce, gluten-free soy sauce, and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coated the beef and vegetables.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot over cooked rice.
