Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
- Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1¼ cups [2¼ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep the steaks
- Set aside half the cornstarch and half the black pepper for the black pepper sauce.
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel; cut the steaks into 1-inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the steaks, steak marinade, half the cornstarch, and half the black pepper and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients
- Peel the onion and cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice the garlic.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; cut the scallions into ½-inch pieces, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the white parts for the stir-fry and the green parts for garnish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fermented black soybean sauce base, remaining cornstarch, remaining black pepper, and ¼ cup [½ cup] water.
4
Brown the steaks
In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the steaks and marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
5
Finish the stir-fry
In the same pan used for the steaks, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and white parts of the scallions and cook until fragrant and the vegetables start to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the steaks and any accumulated juices and toss to combine. Add the black pepper sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and the steaks are cooked to the desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for medium. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with the vegetables and black pepper steak. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and serve.
