Beef with Oyster Sauce Recipe

What you'll need:

• 450g lean beef steak
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 3 tbsp veg oil
• 2 tsp cornflour
• 1 red and 1 green pepper, cut into chunks
• 2 spring onions, shredded
• 3 tbsp oyster sauce

Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 4

Method

First

Slice the beef, so you end up with strips about 5mm thick and 5cm long. Tip them into a bowl, and mix with the soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and cornflour. Mix well, and allow to marinate for 20 minutes or more.

Second

Get your wok on a good heat, and add the vegetable oil. When it is very hot, stir fry the beef for five minutes, or until slightly browned. Remove the beef from the wok, drain in a colander, set aside, and discard the oil.

Third

Clean the wok with some kitchen paper, and put back on the heat. Add the peppers, and soften for 4 minutes. Add the oyster sauce and some seasoning, and stir well as it comes up to a simmer. Return the beef to the wok, mix it all together, and remove from the heat. Serve on a platter, topped with the shredded spring onions, and enjoy with rice or noodles.
