Instructions
- Rinse the beef chuck in cold water and pat dry. Trim off any excess fat and cut into 2-inch pieces.
- Mix the beef huck with the V Spice Seasoning, garlic, and black bean garlic sauce. You can do this the night before to let the beef marinate for a deeper flavor.

Notes
Enjoy with rice or a loaf of good crusty bread. To save time you can also use baby carrots and precut butternut squash and pumpkin. If they are in season they are much tastier if cut fresh!
