Preparation

Step 1

To make the black bean sauce, in a small bowl, stir together the black beans, garlic, ginger, sherry and soy sauce. Set aside.

In a bowl large enough to hold the beef, combine the 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sherry, cornstarch, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Stir until well mixed, then add the beef and stir to coat evenly. Pour 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil over the beef and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

While the beef is marinating, cook the rice. In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the rice. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water has been fully absorbed, about 20 minutes.

About 5 minutes before the rice is ready, in a wok or large, deep fry pan over high heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is very hot, add the beef and its marinade, and toss and stir until the meat has changed color but is still pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the black bean mixture and continue to toss and stir just until the meat is barely cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in half of the basil.

To serve, mound the rice in a serving bowl or divide evenly among individual bowls or plates and top with the beef. Garnish with the remaining basil.
