Description
Tender beef slow-cooked in a rich and savory black bean sauce, infused with garlic, ginger, and aromatic spices. Perfect served over steamed rice or noodles for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
1.5 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed and roughly chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped fermented black beans to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes.
Serve the beef in black bean sauce garnished with sliced green onions over steamed rice or noodles.
