Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin steak
• 400 grams canned black beans
• 60 ml soy sauce
• 15 grams cornstarch
• 30 ml vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 5 grams ginger
• 3 units green onions
• 15 ml chili sauce
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 ml water

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin steak across the grain into thin strips about 5 cm long and 1 cm wide.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the beef strips with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, drain and rinse the canned black beans. Set aside.

Step 4

Chop the onion and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned and slightly caramelized. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the onion, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 7

Add the black beans, remaining soy sauce, chili sauce, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet and add the water. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions (green parts) before serving.

Step 10

Serve the High Protein Black Bean Beef hot, alongside steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
