Delicious!
I haven’t had beef and black bean since I was a kid, We used to get it every Thursday night from the food court after late night grocery shopping. OMG I’d forgotten how much I loved it and this was soooo good! The beef was super silky and tender and the sauce so salty and umami. Loved it! <3
Out of control good
I made this once before and used a store black bean sauce since I could find the black beans. Just came back to this recipe and made the sauce this time, absolutely delicious.
Perfect
cooked Black bean sauce first, looks and smells amazing, measurements were exact and all come together nicely, I used cheap cut of meat, thinly sliced and marinated in corn flour and Baking soda for 1 hour, was tender and the same as takeaway, perfect. will Definitely be cooking again, after i use the left over Black bean paste, Thank you.
