Beef in black bean sauce

This is gorgeous! Quite similar to my chicken in yellow bean sauce recipe.

To serve 4 you will need

1lb or 500g beef steak - any kind will do- sirloin is the best but the most expensive!
One small jar sharwoods black bean sauce
One fresh green Chilli
2 medium sized carrots
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornflour
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 oz or 100g cashew nuts
12oz or 300g rice, white or brown

Firstly put on your rice to boil

Cut the beef into thin strips trying to keep them as even as possible so that they cook in the same amount of time.

Cut open the chilli and remove the seeds. Now cut into fine rings

Peel the carrot and cut into very thin slices lengthways. This is very easily done with a peeler.

Mix together the black bean sauce , the honey and the soy sauce. Then mix the cornflour with 6 tablespoons water until smooth, and add it to the black bean mixture.

Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and fry the cashew nuts on a low heat until lightly toasted. These can burn very quickly so keep your eye on them. When they are cooked remove them from the pan.

Heat another tablespoon of oil in a pan and on a high heat cook the beef and the chilli for 3-4 minutes until the beef is sealed on all sides.

Now add the black bean mixture to the pan and stir over a medium heat until all the beef is glazed and the sauce is thickened.

How long you cook it for depends on how well you like your steak! I cook mine for a good 10 minutes because I like it well done.

Add the cashew nuts and serve with the rice.


Enjoy
