8 oz. lean beef Sirloin beef sliced thin
3 Bell Peppers (any color)
1/2 small onion
2 sticks of celery
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. black bean sauce
2 cloves garlic
3 slices ginger
1/2 C. stock or hot water
2 T. oil for cooking

Marinade:
1/4 tsp. salt

Place the beef in a bowl, and stir in the marinade ingredients. Marinate beef for approximately thirty minutes. While beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut peppers, onion, and celery into 1/2 inch pieces. Mix the garlic cloves and ginger with the black beans and chop finely. Heat wok and add 2 T. oil. When oil is ready, add 1/2 of the black bean, garlic, and ginger mixture. Mix and add the beef. Stir-fry until the beef is approximately 60 – 65 percent cooked. Remove the beef and set aside. Add the rest of the bean mixture, onions and celery. Stir-fry for 3 – 4 minutes and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes longer and add 1/2 C. of stock or hot water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for a couple of minutes. Mix, taste, and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the beef. Mix and serve immediately.
