Directions

If making your own black bean sauce simply put all the ingredients into a blender reserving a tablespoon of black beans. Blend the mix very briefly until you have a thick mixture and then add reserved beans and mix with a spoon into the mixture. Keep refrigerated and use within 3 weeks or alternatively freeze.

Cut the beef into postage stamp size and marinate in marinade ingredients leave to marinate for 2-3 hours.

Cut the pepper and onion into small triangular pieces and carrot into thin circles.

Now preheat wok to medium and add the 600ml of oil, add a few bits of ginger un- peeled, when ginger becomes dark remove from oil now it’s seasoned. You can keep the oil and use a few times more for other stir fries.

Add the beef to the oil separating the beef, cook for 1 minute or until the colour changes remove and drain.

Pour away the excess oil keeping about 2 tablespoons, cook the spring onions and a few bits of ginger (finely chopped) for a few seconds, and now add the chillies, onion, carrots and green pepper and stir fry for 2 minutes.

Now add 2 tablespoons of black bean sauce and cook for a minute, add the beef and blend well. Now add the stock and turn heat to boil once boiling reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of cournflour paste stirring to thicken, then add a drop of oyster sauce to richen giving a quick stir.

Serve on rice and chips!
