Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 400 grams canned low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- as needed fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in batches, cooking until browned and seared on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Return the beef to the skillet along with the rinsed black beans.
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of water, and sesame oil. Pour the mixture into the skillet, stirring well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your flavorful, low sodium black bean beef dish!
