beef with black bean sauce

February 28th, 2010

You possibly will not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet which includes beef with black bean sauce but it is feasible. The key is to not eat beef with black bean sauce or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have just been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also find it helps to have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Beef with Black Bean Sauce (China)

1 (1 1/2 pound) beef rump steak
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons dry sherry
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1 egg white
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons fermented, salted black beans
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin slices
1/2 cup drained sliced bamboo shoots (1/2 of 8 ounce can)
1 teaspoon curry powder

Cut meat across the grain into thin slices 2 inches long. Combine soy sauce, sherry, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch and the egg white in medium glass or plastic bowl; beat lightly with fork. Mix in meat. Let stand 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine remaining 1/3 cup water and 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Pour over meat-vegetable mixture. Cook and stir until liquid boils and thickens.
