For the rice, heat 1 ½ cups water to boil, salt it and add the rice, then stir and cover and cook about 15-18 minutes. Turn off heat, and fluff with fork to serve.

Meanwhile, for the beef, combine beef and marinade and let stand 15 minutes.

For the sauce, whisk up sauce in a medium bowl: black bean sauce, rice wine or sherry, chili sauce, cornstarch and stock or broth – reserving oil for stir-frying the vegetables.  

For the stir-fry, heat a large cast-iron skillet or large frying pan over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, brown meat well and remove to a plate.   

Add remaining oil to pan, 2 turns of the pan, then add the leeks, ginger, garlic, broccoli and chili pepper, toss 2-3 minutes, add ¼ cup water and cover 2 minutes, then add back beef and black bean sauce, thicken, and toss to combine.  

Fluff rice and serve topped with beef and broccoli in black bean sauce.
