Description
Tender beef cooked slowly in a rich and savory black bean sauce, perfect for a comforting meal served over rice or noodles.
Ingredients
1.5 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
3 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed and roughly chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the chopped fermented black beans, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and beef broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
Stir the slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
