Beef stir-fries get a bad rap, but with my tips and tricks, you’ll get super-tender meat and a sauce that packs a real punch. Serve with steamed rice or fresh noodles to turn into a more filling meal.
Beef, Mushroom & Ginger Stir-fry
400g (14 oz) thinly sliced beef
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 onion, sliced
4cm piece ginger, finely julienned
300g (10 oz) mushrooms, halved or quartered
¼ cup sliced spring onions
Marinade:
2 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp baking soda
3 tsp corn flour (cornstarch)
Stir-fry sauce:
3 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp white vinegar
- Combine the marinade ingredients with the beef. Set aside for later.
- Combine the stir-fry sauce ingredients. Set aside for later.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the beef and spread it out in the pan. Allow to sear for about 2 minutes before stir-frying. Add the garlic, onion and ginger and stir-fry for another minute. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Pour over the stir-fry sauce and toss until well combined. Toss through the spring onions and serve.
