Cooking Instructions
- Boil a kettle. Rinse the rice and place in a saucepan with 800ml lightly salted boiling water. Simmer for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Cut the steaks crosswise into 2cm slices. Add them to a mixing bowl with the cornflour and toss to coat. Heat a medium frying pan with half the sesame oil on a medium-high heat, add the beef and fry for 3-4 mins, until golden brown all over. Transfer to a clean bowl and set aside.
- In a separate small bowl mix together the vinegar, honey, tamari and black bean paste.
- Deseed and thinly slice the peppers. Cut three-quarters of the spring onions into 2cm lengths. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely chop or grate the ginger. Reheat the frying pan with the remaining sesame oil on a medium-high heat and fry the veg for 2-3 mins until beginning to soften.
- Return the beef to the pan and toss it through the veg. Pour in the black bean mix and stir well. Bring it to a simmer then remove from the heat immediately and continue to stir for a minute to get a thick glossy sauce.
- Finely chop most the coriander (save a few leaves for garnish). Stir half of it through the sauce and the remaining half into the drained rice. Thinly slice the spring onion and stir it into the rice, then serve it with the beef in black bean sauce. Garnish with the remaining coriander leaves.
