About Australian Chinese Beef with Black Bean Sauce
This Australian Chinese restaurant classic combines thin beef slices with fermented black soybeans, onion and green capsicum. RecipeTin Eats publishes chef Hannah's restaurant-style version, using rump steak and a sauce made from the beans.
The beans and soy sauces supply savoury depth. Oyster sauce adds richness, while garlic, Shaoxing wine and toasted sesame oil bring aromatic notes.
Tender, coated beef contrasts with the vegetables and small softened beans. A glossy sauce gathers around the pieces, with white rice listed alongside.
