STIR-FRIED BEEF IN OYSTER SAUCE

Preparation Method :

• Place the steak in the freezer for 30 - 40 minutes, until firm, and then slice it on the diagonal into thin strips.
• Mix the soy sauce and corn flour in a large bowl.
• Add the steak, turning to coat well, cover with clear film (plastic wrap), and leave to marinate at room temperature for 1 - 2 hours.
• Heat half the oil in a wok or large, heavy frying pan. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 - 2 minutes, until fragrant.
• Drain the steak, add it to the wok or pan, and stir well to separate the strips.
• Cook for further 1 - 2 minutes, stirring frequently until the steak is browned all over, and tender. Remove from the wok or pan and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in the wok or pan. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry over medium heat until golden brown.
• Return the steak to the wok and mix it with the mushrooms. Spoon in the oyster sauce and sugar, mix well, and then add ground black pepper to taste.
• Toss over the heat until all the ingredients mix well.
• Stir in the spring onions. Tip the mixture on to a serving platter, garnish with the strips of red chilli, and serve.
