Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Mix well and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir-Fry the Beef

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Green Beans

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the green beans and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the green beans. Add the black bean sauce and stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
