Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Step 5
Return the beef to the skillet along with the rinsed black beans.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander.
Step 9
Serve immediately, and enjoy your flavorful, low sodium black bean beef dish!
