SHREDDED BEEF IN BLACK BEAN...

My very first food post was aptly titled Asia & I, i love Asian food! It's easy, doesn't require a lot of ingredients and a lot of the sauces can be found bottled in the shops. Whats not to love?

I have tried a couple of recipes the long way, deciding to go all fresh but there isn't much of a difference and living in Nigeria, best of luck with finding fresh black beans etc. This recipe is out of a black bean sauce bottle but you can make it all yours by ignoring their suggested cooking accompaniments and jazzing it up for yourself.

500grms Sliced beef

Sliced green pepper

Diagonally sliced spring onions

3 Cloves of garlic crushed

1/2 Onion, chopped

1 Teaspoon grated ginger

Steak Seasoning

1 Bottle Black bean Sauce

2 Tablespoons Olive oil

1 Tablespoon light soy sauce

1 teaspoon vinegar

Pepper

In a pan heat up olive oil  and fry onions and garlic until softened.

Add beef, steak seasoning and ginger and fry on medium heat until meat is completely cooked. 

Add black bean sauce, soy sauce, pepper, vinegar. Turn down the heat and allow to simmer for 3 minutes. Add your vegetables and cover to cook for another minute.

That's really it and its easy and high in protein! Serve with basmati rice.

Enjoy Shanghai in your kitchen!
