500 gram beef stir-fry strips

200 gram green beans, trimmed

1 red capsicum, seeded, sliced

230 gram can water chestnuts, drained, thickly sliced

4 green onions, thinly sliced

1/4 cup black bean sauce

Method

1.Heat half the oil in a wok or large frying pan on high. Stir-fry beef in 2 batches 1-2 minutes, until browned. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

2.Heat remaining oil in the same wok. Stir-fry beans and capsicum 2-3 minutes, until tender.

3.Add water chestnuts, onions, sauces and sherry. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, until heated through and sauce has thickened slightly. Serve with steamed rice.

To steam rice, bring 1 cup long-grain rice and 1 1/2 cups water to the boil in a pan. Stir occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Cover pan with a tight- fitting lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork then serve.
