Beef Mushroom Oyster Sauce Stir Fry Food

BEEF AND MUSHROOM STIR-FRY RICE PLATE

Steps:

• Combine 12 ounces of sliced beef, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon oil, 2 teaspoons oyster sauce, and ¼ teaspoon baking soda (if using). Mix all of the ingredients into the beef. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Combine warmed beef stock or water with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon sugar and 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper. Use pure beef stock only. Many are made with celery, tomato, and carrot, which will make this stir-fry taste like beef stew! If you can't find a purer stock, use water and/or a beef bullion cube. Just remember to adjust the seasoning accordingly, as they can be salty. You can add more water and cornstarch slurry to offset this effect.
• Heat your carbon steel wok until it's just smoking. Spread 2 tablespoons oil around the perimeter, and add the beef.
• Use your wok spatula to spread the beef out, and sear for 30 seconds. Stir-fry the beef for another 30 seconds until it's 80% done, and transfer the beef back to the bowl.
• Without washing the wok, turn the heat back on to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok, and immediately add the ginger, white portion of the scallions and garlic. Stir-fry for 15 seconds, and add the mushrooms.
• Next spread 1½ tablespoons of Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok to deglaze, and stir-fry everything for 20 seconds.
• Add the stock and sauces to the wok, and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to deglaze the wok and heat the sauce. Once the mixture starts to simmer, add the beef and any juices from the bowl along with the rest of the scallions. Stir-fry everything to combine.
• Immediately stir up your cornstarch slurry (the water and cornstarch has likely separated by now). Slowly drizzle about two thirds of the slurry into the sauce while stirring.
• Within 10 seconds, you should see the sauce thicken. Add more cornstarch slurry if you like your sauce thicker, or add more stock or water if the sauce is too thick. (Remember your sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.) Either way, move quickly during this step so you don't overcook your beef. Turn the heat off as soon as the sauce is to your desired consistency.
• At this point, if you like a little extra richness and the combination of soy sauce and butter, stir in a tablespoon of butter just before plating the dish!
• To serve, spoon cooked white rice onto a plate and immediately serve your beef and mushroom stir-fry poured over the top.

STIR FRY MAITAKE MUSHROOM & BEEF WITH OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Marinate the beef in a mixture of equal parts soy sauce and white wine for 5 to 6 minutes.
• Break maitake mushrooms into bite sized pieces.
• Heat oil in wok on high heat (peanut oil works best for stirfry because of the high heat but I use canola oil without any problems).
• Add red pepper, green onion and eggplant to the wok and stir fry.
• Add beef, Maitake Mushrooms, Chinese cabbage and oyster sauce to the mixture. Stir well and cook until beef is cooked through.
• If desired, add 1-4 tsp corn starch to thicken the sauce.

STIR-FRIED BEEF WITH OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the beef into slices 5cm long and 5mm thick, cutting against the grain of the meat. Put them in a bowl. Mix in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine or Sherry and cornflour. Leave to marinate for 20 mins.
• Heat a wok until it is very hot, then add the groundnut oil. When it is slightly smoking, add the beef slices and stir-fry for 5 mins or until lightly browned. Remove the meat from the wok and drain well in a colander set inside a bowl. Discard the drained oil.
• Wipe the wok clean and reheat it over a high heat. Add the peppers, and cook for 3-4 mins or until softened. Add the oyster sauce and bring it to a simmer. Return the drained beef slices to the wok and toss them thoroughly with the oyster sauce. Turn the mixture on to a serving platter, top with the spring onions and serve immediately.

BEEF IN OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the beef: Prepare the fillet of beef by hammering it with a meat cleaver, the side of a meat cleaver, the side of a Chinese cleaver or a rolling pin. Slice it thinly, and put the pieces into a bowl. Season the beef with the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Set aside.
• Heat a wok over high heat, and add 1 tablespoon groundnut oil. Add the garlic, and chile, and toss quickly. Then, add the spinach leaves, and toss so they warm for 5 seconds. Scatter them onto a large serving plate.
• Heat the wok over high heat, and add the remaining groundnut oil. Add the beef slices, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, adding a dash of Shaohsing rice wine. Season with a pinch of dried chile flakes. To serve, lay the beef over a bed of the garlic-spinach leaves.
• To make the mushrooms: Reheat the wok, add the oil, then add the oyster mushrooms and stir fry for 1 minute. Add a small splash of water to create some steam to help cook. Season with the black rice vinegar, and light soy sauce. Spoon the mixture over the beef, and serve.

STIR FRY CHILLI BEEF IN OYSTER SAUCE

• Prepare the vegetables which can consist of a combination of Bean Shoots, Red Capsicum, Bok Choy, Chinese Leaf, Baby Corn, Spring Onions, asparagus, broccoli, celery. (the asparagus and broccoli need to be blanched for 2 minutes, drained and allowed to cool.
• For the sauce mix the water, dark soya sauce, sesame oil and cornflour together.
• Heat the wok, adding some of the oil - stir fry the vegetables along with the garlic, ginger and the chillies for a few minutes adding some salt if necessary.
• Place in a hot dish and add more oil to the wok and stir fry the beef, taking care to stir frequently, add the sauce and as soon as it starts to thicken add the vegetables back into the wok, stir to coat.
• Serve immediately either with fried rice or plain boiled noodles. Delicious.

BROCCOLI AND MUSHROOMS IN OYSTER SAUCE

• Trim off flowers into bite-size pieces, lightly peel broccoli stalks and slice into diagonal medallions.
• Heat wok on high. Add the oil and when the oil is hot add the broccoli, stir-fry rapidly until the broccoli is covered in oil.
• When the wok is no longer oily, add a splash of water or chicken stock and continue to fry, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, replenishing water/chicken stock whenever wok becomes dry.
• Toss in the prepared mushrooms and the garlic, stir, add half of the oyster sauce, stir, cover and simmer at medium heat two minutes.
• Serve drizzled with the remaining oyster sauce.

BEEF, MUSHROOM & GREENS STIR-FRY

• Add a little more oil. Stir-fry the ginger until golden, then add the spring greens and mushrooms. Cook for 3 mins, stirring often, then add the steak and soy sauce mixture. Cook for 3-4 more mins until the sauce has thickened a little and everything is warmed through. Serve over rice or noodles.
