Chinese Stir-Fry Dish

Here is a Beef recipe that certainly is an authentic Chinese dish.

It was given to us from a Chinese Chef, and it goes back many years.


We really like it.

Beef and Peppers in Black Bean Sauce
A Cantonese Beef recipe


Ingredients:
4 ounces Sirloin beef steaks sliced thin or thick
3 green peppers (or red and green peppers as desired)
1/2 small onion
2 sticks of celery
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon black beans
2 cloves garlic
3 slices ginger
1/2 cup stock or hot water
2 tablespoons oil for cooking

Marinade:
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons oil


Directions:

Place the beef in a bowl, and stir in the marinade ingredients.
Marinate beef for approximately thirty minutes.
While beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables.

Cut peppers, onion, and celery into 1/2 inch pieces.
Mix the garlic cloves and ginger with the black beans and chop finely.

Heat wok and add 2 tablespoons oil.
When oil is ready, add 1/2 of the black bean, garlic, and ginger mixture.
Mix and add the beef.

Stir-fry until the beef is approximately 60 - 65 percent cooked.
Remove the beef and set aside.

Add the rest of the bean mixture, onions and celery.
Stir-fry for 3 - 4 minutes and add the peppers.

Stir-fry for a couple of minutes longer and add 1/2 cup of stock or hot water.
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for a couple of minutes.

Mix, taste, and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Add the beef.

Mix and serve immediately.

Serve with cooked white or jasmine rice.



My Note B.D.

The recipe also calls for 1/2 tsp. MSG if desired.

I don't use MSG ( mono sodium glutamate) so I left it out.


Enjoy!!!
