BEEF IN OYSTER SAUCE

Beef in Oyster Sauce

Beef in Oyster Sauce

This dish is so simple to cook and eat. There is no need for gloopy brought sauce laden with MSG - this home-made version is full of flavour and takes minutes to cook. A great accompaniment is cooked jasmine rice, but if your not in the mood for a large meal, you can eat this dish with plenty of greens- wok-fried chilli pak choy.

Method

  1. Prepare the fillet of beef by hammering it with a meat cleaver or a rolling pin. Slice it thinly and place the pieces in a bowl. Season the beef with the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, the sugar, salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. Heat a wok over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and chilli and toss quickly, then add the pak choy and stir-fry for 1 minute. Season with a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon oyster sauce. Transfer the pak choy to a serving plate.

  3. Heat the wok over high heat and add the remaining oil. Add the beef slices and stir-fry for less that 1 minute. To serve, either place the beef slices on the pak choy or toss the beef with the pak choy; then serve immediately.
