Perfect homemade Chinese style beef in black bean sauce, rich and delicious, full of umami flavor.
I’m going to show you how to make the most tender beef, even using a cheap cut of beef, and also how to make your own black bean sauce.
If you’re short on time, I’ve included a shortcut, using store-bought sauce too!
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).
