Beef in Oyster Sauce

Ingredients

• 300 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• light soy sauce, a little sugar
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic
• onion, bell pepper, spring onion
• tapioca starch + pepper (to marinate)

Method

• Marinate beef with starch, soy sauce and pepper for 10 minutes
• Heat the wok on high, fry garlic until fragrant, add beef and stir-fry quickly
• Add onion and bell pepper; stir-fry until just crisp-tender
• Season with oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar; add spring onion, toss and turn off heat

How to Choose

Choose bright-red sirloin with fine marbling; fresh, crisp vegetables; firm garlic cloves.

Chef's Secret

Secret: a starch marinade keeps the beef tender and juicy; stir-fry fast on high heat so it stays tender and does not weep; add vegetables late to keep them crisp.
