Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin steak
- 400 grams canned black beans
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 15 grams cornstarch
- 30 ml vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 5 grams ginger
- 3 units green onions
- 15 ml chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 ml water
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin steak across the grain into thin strips about 5 cm long and 1 cm wide.
In a bowl, combine the beef strips with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
While the beef is marinating, drain and rinse the canned black beans. Set aside.
Chop the onion and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned and slightly caramelized. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the black beans, remaining soy sauce, chili sauce, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Return the beef to the skillet and add the water. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Garnish with sliced green onions (green parts) before serving.
Serve the High Protein Black Bean Beef hot, alongside steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
