Beef Stir-Fry in Oyster Sauce
Ingredients:
- 4 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 onion, thinly sliced
- 4 large green chilies, sliced
- Soy sauce
- Salt
- Oyster sauce
- Beef (sliced thinly)
- Water
- Cooking oil
Instructions:
-
Prep the Ingredients: Begin by slicing the shallots, garlic, onion, and green chilies into thin strips.
-
Cook the Beef: In a pot, bring water to a boil and cook the beef until tender. This step helps ensure that the beef becomes tender and easy to stir-fry.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat some cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and garlic to the pan, stirring frequently until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Next, add the onion and continue to stir-fry until it softens. Finally, incorporate the green chilies and cook for a few more minutes.
-
Combine Beef and Seasonings: Add the cooked beef to the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, adjusting the quantities to taste. Stir the beef and seasonings thoroughly to ensure that everything is evenly coated.
-
Add Some Broth: Pour a small amount of the reserved beef broth (from the pot where you cooked the beef) into the pan. This adds flavor and helps the seasonings meld together. Stir until the liquid has been absorbed and the sauce is well integrated with the beef.
-
Final Touches: Continue cooking for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the beef to absorb the seasoning.
-
Serve: Once the dish is well-coated and the sauce has reduced to your liking, it’s ready to serve. Enjoy this savory and flavorful beef stir-fry with steamed rice or noodles.
