CHINESE BEEF AND ASPARAGUS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Chinese Beef and Asparagus With Black Bean Sauce image

The second of my three favorite Chinese recipes, adapted from The Frugal Gourmet. Since I don't like CRISP asparagus that tastes like grass to me, I make below the suggestion that you steam the asparagus briefly. I serve this over rice but it'd be good over noodles too.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs asparagus
1 lb flank steak, sliced thinly across the grain
3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons dry sherry or 3 tablespoons chinese rice wine
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 -3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fermented black beans, rinsed and chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch sugar
1/4 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Prepare the asparagus by washing, breaking the stem at the "natural" break point and slice diagonally into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces.
  • (OPTIONAL: Steam the asparagus pieces for 3-4 minutes.) Put aside.
  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl (soy sauce, ginger, sherry and cornstarch) then add the sliced meat. Mix well and let sit for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally if you wish.
  • Head a wok or large frying pan, add the oil. When it is is just beginning to smoke, add the meat, laying each piece on one side in the pan, Do not turn but cook over high heat for a moment, until the one side begins to brown. Toss-stir the meat for a moment and remove from the pan, allowing the oil to drain back into the pan. You may want to do this in two batches to keep the meat sizzling.
  • Heat the pan to hot again and add the garlic. Stir-fry for a minute then add the rinsed, chopped black beans and stirfry another bit. Add the asparagus, toss with the vegetables then add the other T of soy sauce and the pinches of sugar and salt. Stirfy until the asparagus is done to your liking (probably about 5 minutes if you didn't steam it first; less if you did).
  • Add the meat and its drippings and the chicken broth. Stir to make a sauce, then serve.

BEEF WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Beef with Black Bean Sauce image

Beef with black bean sauce is a tasty, classic combination found on Chinese restaurant menus around the country, and it's easy to make at home!

Provided by Sarah

Categories     Beef

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound beef flank steak or beef chuck ((thinly sliced against the grain))
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
1 1/2 cups low sodium beef or chicken stock
2 tablespoons black bean and garlic sauce ((such as Lee Kum Kee))
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper ((or to taste))
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup onion ((cut into 1-inch/2.5cm pieces))
1 cup red bell pepper ((cut into 1-inch/2.5cm pieces))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 cup snow peas ((trimmed))
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch ((mixed into a slurry with 2 tablespoons water))

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the beef, baking soda, and water. Massage the beef with your hands until most of the liquid is absorbed. Let stand for 1 to 2 hours (less time for more tender beef, or longer for a tougher cut like chuck). Then rinse the beef thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear. Drain. This step tenderizes the meat before marinating.
  • Then add the cornstarch, vegetable oil, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Mix well and marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight if you'd like to make this ahead.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, mix together the stock, black bean garlic sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper, and set aside.
  • Heat your wok over high heat until it starts to smoke lightly. Add 1 tablespoon of oil around the perimeter of the wok. Add the beef in 1 layer, and sear the beef on both sides until browned (this should only take 2-3 minutes). Turn off the heat, remove the beef from the wok, and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, onions, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, until the onions and peppers have very light sear on them. Next, add the Shaoxing wine to deglaze the wok.
  • Stir in the sauce mixture you made earlier. Bring to a simmer, and add the beef (along with any juices) back to the wok. Stir it in, then add the snow peas.
  • Bring the contents of the wok to a simmer. Stir the cornstarch and water until incorporated into a slurry, and gradually add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce is thickened to your liking (if it's too thick, add a splash of water or stock; if it's too thin, add more slurry). Cook until the snow peas are just crisp-tender. Serve immediately with steamed rice!

SIMPLE SPICY ASPARAGUS IN A WOK



Simple Spicy Asparagus in a Wok image

Asparagus doesn't have to be treated as a delicate, fragile thing, napped only with butter or creamy sauces, or served plain with olive oil and salt. That's fine for the first week or two of the season, but then it's time to dial up the interest factor and add some spice. Asparagus actually stands up quite well to aggressive flavors. A quick toss in a hot wok with garlic, ginger and chiles doesn't overwhelm it at all, at least if you don't overcook the spears. Instead, the vegetable's sweetness becomes accentuated by contrast.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds asparagus, medium- or pencil-size
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 small dried red peppers
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon Chinese chile paste
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 jalapeño or serrano chile, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
3 green onions, slivered
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard bottoms of asparagus, then cut into 2-inch pieces (halve thicker pieces lengthwise first).
  • Set wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. Add dried peppers and let sizzle, then add asparagus, tossing well to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for a minute or so, then add chile paste, garlic, ginger, orange zest and jalapeño. Continue cooking over high heat for a minute, maybe less, until asparagus is cooked but still firm and bright green. (It will continue cooking off the heat.)
  • Mound asparagus on a serving platter and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle cilantro, green onion and sesame seeds over the top.

CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE



Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake image

Whether or not you've fallen for this cheesy white-bean tomato bake, we'd like you to meet its bolder counterpart, smoky and spiced, with lots of melty cheese. Black beans shine in a deep-red mixture of fried garlic, caramelized tomato paste, smoked paprika and cumin. The whole skillet gets coated in a generous sprinkling of sharp Cheddar or Manchego cheese, then baked until melted. The final result is what you hope for from a really good chili or stew, but in a lot less time. For a spicier rendition, add a pinch of cayenne with the paprika, or douse the final skillet with hot sauce. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, rice, a baked potato or fried eggs.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, beans, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar or Manchego cheese (from about a 6-ounce block)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
  • Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
