Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons black bean sauce, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 100 ml water
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Mix well to coat the beef evenly, and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the beef is browned. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 5
Return the beef to the skillet. Add the black bean sauce, rice vinegar, and water. Stir well to combine, and allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Step 6
Add the chopped spring onions and sesame oil, stirring to incorporate them into the dish. If desired, add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Step 7
Serve hot, garnished with additional spring onions if desired. Enjoy your sugar-free beef in black bean sauce!
