A classic Chinese favourite, this beef and black bean sauce recipe is so much better than a takeaway version and lower in salt and calories too!

What's more, it can be thrown together really quickly, making it the perfect dish to serve as part of a larger Chinese style banquet or just as a main meal if you're short on time after work!

Tender pieces of rump steak are stir fried before being cooked in a rich, earthy sauce made of black bean and oyster sauce. The dish also features red and green peppers that are quickly stir fried to retain their texture.

This dish is perfect served with fresh egg noodles or egg fried rice.

This beef in black bean sauce is quick to make and great for large family meals.

Tender pieces of beef steak are pan fried.

The steak is then cooked in a sauce flavoured with garlic, black bean paste, rice wine and oyster sauce.
