Ingredients:
- 1/4 kg green beans, trimmed
- 200 g thinly sliced beef
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed and sliced
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 100 ml water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A pinch of seasoning (optional, such as Masako)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by prepping all the ingredients. Trim the ends off the green beans, slice the shallots and garlic, and thinly slice the beef.
-
Sauté Aromatics: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Sauté the sliced shallots and garlic until they become fragrant and translucent.
-
Cook the Beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the pan. Stir and cook until the beef changes color and is no longer pink. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and oyster sauce. Mix well to combine the flavors.
-
Simmer: Pour in the water and stir. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and tender.
-
Add Green Beans: Add the trimmed green beans to the pan. Stir well to incorporate the beans into the dish. Cook for a few minutes, just until the beans are heated through but still crisp. Avoid overcooking to maintain their freshness.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If desired, add a bit more Masako or seasoning according to your preference.
-
Serve: Once the green beans are cooked to your liking, remove from heat. Serve the dish hot, either on its own or with a side of rice.
