Ingredients

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup fermented black beans rinsed and drained

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 cup rice wine

2 teaspoons sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

1 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic

1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 pounds beef flank steak

1/2 cup julienne red peppers, about 3-inch long strips

1/2 cup julienne green peppers

1/2 cup julienne onions

1 cup broccoli florets, blanched

1 cup black bean garlic sauce

Green onions, for garnish

Directions

  1. For black bean sauce: Heat a wok or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, black beans and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil stirring often. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add to mixture and stir until sauce thickens.
  2. For Mongolian Ginger Beef: Combine soy sauce, chopped garlic, sesame oil and black pepper in a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Slice flank steak on a bias, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Add to marinade, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.
  3. Lightly oil Mongolian grill or wok. Grill the beef for 2 minutes. Add the peppers, onions, and broccoli. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until beef is cooked throughout. Add sauce and toss with beef mixture. Coat well and remove from heat. Garnish beef with green onion straws and serve with steamed jasmine rice.

I just added  1" of fresh grated ginger to the marinate. I figured that's what they meant. I also used store bought black bean sauce because I had some in a jar and needed to use it. I used red onions and red peppers and added the scallions at the end. I used Jasmine rice and it was spectacular! I also used 1:1 regular wok oil and hot wok oil and that made it warm (not hot). Just right. But I like a little heat. For more heat or to make it a little on the hot side use hot wok oil by itself.
