- I love the rich flavor of beef in black bean sauce. Although it requires a little more effort than other stir-fry recipes (especially when you make your own black bean sauce), it’s actually very simple.
- The sauce can be made ahead of time, or made as part of this recipe (aside from the hour needed to soak the beans, the rest of the sauce comes together in minutes).
- We’re also going to use a simple trick to soften or ‘velvet’ the meat, so it’s delicious and soft, just like in a Chinese restaurant.
