Make beef: Trim any fat or gristle from beef and cut along grain into
strips about 2 to 3 inches wide. Cut strips across grain into very thin
slices. In a bowl, combine beef with remaining ingredients, stirring with
your hands until coated well, and marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.

Make sauce: In a small bowl stir cornstarch into broth or water to dissolve
and stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Rinse and drain black beans. Chop
beans and in a small bowl combine with garlic, ginger and red pepper
flakes.

Heat a wok or deep 12-inch skillet over high heat until hot and add 3
tablespoons oil. Heat oil until it begins to smoke and stir-fry beef until
no longer pink and slices separate. Transfer beef with a slotted spoon to a
large colander and drain.

Wipe out wok or skillet and heat over high heat until hot. Add remaining 1
1/2 tablespoons oil. Heat oil until it begins to smoke and stir-fry black
bean mixture until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add onion and bell peppers
and stir-fry until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir sauce and add to vegetable mixture. Stir-fry mixture until sauce is
thickened. Add beef and stir-fry until heated through. Stir in basil and
transfer to a platter. Serve beef with mock mandarin pancakes or rice.
