Stir Fried Caribou with Black Bean Sauce Yield: 4 Servings
3/4 cup dried black beans 3 cup stock 1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 chile pepper, chopped finely 3 tbsp sherry wine vinegar 1/2 tsp salt
8 oz caribou, deer or beef steak 1 Tbsp sesame oil 1 Tbsp chopped fresh ginger 1 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 celery ribs, julienned 1/2 cup mushrooms, fresh, sliced 1/2 onion, sliced vertically into crescent fans 1 cup bean sprouts
Soak the beans in water overnight, rinse and drain. Combine black beans, stock, ginger, garlic, chile and vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.

Trim all the fat from meat and cut, against the grain, into quarter-inch strips. Place oil in a nonstick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the meat and stir fry for a few seconds. Add ginger, garlic, celery, mushrooms and onion, stir fry until vegetables are tender-crisp. Add sprouts and and a cup of the sauce, cover and cook a further 30-40 seconds and remove from heat.
Serve with steamed rice and pass the rest of the sauce at the table.
