When I eat out at Chinese restaurants one of my favorite dishes to order is steak and peppers with black bean sauce. It is a nice simple and yet tasty dish that is fairly healthy. I have made this at home before using a jarred black bean sauce but now that I had found the fermented black beans, I wanted to try making it with them. The steak and peppers came together pretty easily and quickly. I made sure to not overcook the peppers as I like them to still be crisp and fresh. The steak and peppers in fermented black bean sauce was pretty tasty! It goes well on rice which soaks up any of the excess sauce. This dish is pretty flexible and you could easily change the beef to chicken or prawns etc. and you could change the peppers with broccoli or some other vegetable.
