Cooking Time:
20 minutes
Total Time:
45 minutes

Step 1: You will need

  • 300 g beef fillet steak, cubed
  • 4 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp fermented black beans, washed and dried
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cm ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp corn flour
  • 5 tbsp chicken stock or water
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 wok
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 2 spoons

Step 2: Mash the beans with garlic and ginger

Using the back of your spoon squash the beans into a paste. Add the ginger and garlic and mix well.

Step 3: Mix the ingredients into sugar

Into the bowl of sugar add the soy sauce, vinegar, corn flour and using your spoon mix together well.

Step 4: Fry the beef

Pour the oil into a heated wok and spoon in the beef little by little. This is to ensure that the wok does not cool down. If you have a very high flame you will not need to cook the beef in batches.

Let the meat cook for a few minutes before adding the next batch. Repeat until all the beef is fried.

Step 5: Add the bean mix

To the beef add the bean mixture and stir, making sure that all the meat is evenly coated. Then add the onions, soy mix, the chicken stock and stir thoroughly.

When it has thickened, remove it from the heat.

Step 6: Present

Serve the meat into two bowls on top of a bed of steamed rice and garnish with a sprig of basil.

    I have tried this with chicken and pork fillet. Its lovely. Also i add peppers, onions and extra stock. Add a few whole black beans as well.

    I am not sure if the beef should be 'diced'. My advice would be to slice the beef so that it is tender. Just check it out with what you get from the Chinese restaurant. It's sliced and not diced or chunky! But enjoy.

    I think I misunderstood the video so I watched it a second time. First time around, it looked to me that the first batch of beef wasn't removed from the wok once stir fried and a second batch of raw beef was added to the cooked beef in the wok until the second batch too was stir fried, hence my overcooked comment. Guess I should watch the video more than once before commenting!

    Roadie, I think you should find fermented beans and try again. Anonymous, I agree sliced marinated meat is better but, meat cooked in 'batches' is done to avoid a 'braising' process (as opposed to 'stir fry'.
