BEEF IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the beef, bash the beef slices with a meat mallet, the side of a heavy knife or a rolling pin to flatten, then finely slice into strips. Combine the sesame oil, sugar, Chinese five-spice powder, soy sauce and cornflour in a small bowl. Place the beef in a large bowl and massage the marinade well into the meat until well covered and there is no sauce left at the bottom of the bowl.
• To make the sauce, place all of the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and mix together well.
• To make the stir fry, put the black soy beans in a small bowl or ramekin and cover with boiling water (about 2-3 tablespoons water) and leave to soak for about 10 minutes. Drain through a sieve and then crush in a pestle and mortar with the garlic and ginger until you have a coarse paste. Transfer back to the ramekin.
• Get all the remaining stir fry ingredients to hand (the stir fry is cooked very quickly so you need everything ready to add to the wok).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over a high heat and once smoking hot, add the onions, peppers and spring onion. Cook for 1 minute, then add the cavolo nero and continue to stir-fry for a minute. At this point, transfer the vegetables out of the wok to a bowl to make space for stir-frying the beef. Add the remaining oil to the wok and bring it back to a high heat. Once smoking hot, add the beef to the wok and press down with a spatula to separate out the pieces. Do not turn the beef too quickly, just press down to sear the pieces for 30 seconds-1 minute and then turn once and sear the other side of the beef in the same way. Once browned on both sides, add the soy bean mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute before returning the vegetables back to the wok.
• Ensure the wok is at a high heat before pouring the sauce into the wok and bringing to a vigorous boil. Boil while stirring for a further minute. Garnish with spring onion or coriander and serve immediately.

BEEF WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the beef, baking soda, and water. Massage the beef with your hands until most of the liquid is absorbed. Let stand for 1 to 2 hours (less time for more tender beef, or longer for a tougher cut like chuck). Then rinse the beef thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear. Drain. This step tenderizes the meat before marinating.
• Then add the cornstarch, vegetable oil, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Mix well and marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight if you'd like to make this ahead.
• In a liquid measuring cup, mix together the stock, black bean garlic sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper, and set aside.
• Heat your wok over high heat until it starts to smoke lightly. Add 1 tablespoon of oil around the perimeter of the wok. Add the beef in 1 layer, and sear the beef on both sides until browned (this should only take 2-3 minutes). Turn off the heat, remove the beef from the wok, and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, onions, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, until the onions and peppers have very light sear on them. Next, add the Shaoxing wine to deglaze the wok.
• Stir in the sauce mixture you made earlier. Bring to a simmer, and add the beef (along with any juices) back to the wok. Stir it in, then add the snow peas.
• Bring the contents of the wok to a simmer. Stir the cornstarch and water until incorporated into a slurry, and gradually add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce is thickened to your liking (if it's too thick, add a splash of water or stock; if it's too thin, add more slurry). Cook until the snow peas are just crisp-tender. Serve immediately with steamed rice!
