From the Test Kitchen

This star of this vibrant dish is the irresistibly savory black bean-chile sauce we’re using to coat tender bites of beef. It’s all served over a bed of green beans, peppers, and brown rice––perfectly crisped in the pan––providing the perfect base for soaking all the flavors up.

tips & techniques
Cook the rice
1 Cook the rice

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the rice and cook, uncovered, 17 to 19 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly.

2 Prepare the ingredients

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans; cut into 1-inch pieces. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then medium dice.

Cook the vegetables
3 Cook the vegetables

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat the sautéed aromatics on medium-high until hot. Add the green bean pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the diced peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

Separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned beef in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the black bean-chile sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the beef is coated and just cooked through. Transfer to a bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
