Method

  1. 1

    Toss the beef sirloin slices with the cornflour and chinese rice wine and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat half the groundnut oil in a wok until smoking and stir-fry the beef for 2 minutes until just browned, then lift out onto a plate.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining oil to the wok with the garlic and fresh root ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the red pepper and mangetout and stir-fry for 2 minutes until just softened but still crisp.

  5. 5

    Return the beef to the wok with the black bean sauce and a splash of water, tossing everything together for 2 minutes until the beef is cooked through with no pink remaining and everything is glossy.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with steamed rice.
