Main Ingredients- Beef 200g (e.g., flat iron steak or sirloin, your preference)
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 5 cloves Garlic
- 5 heads Bok Choy
Seasoning- Pinch of Salt
- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, lightly coat a pan with oil. Start by stir-frying thinly sliced onion until it becomes translucent and fragrant. This will release a sweet aroma.
Step 2
Add minced or sliced garlic to the pan along with the onions and continue to stir-fry. Keep the heat on medium-low to prevent the garlic from burning and to enhance its flavor.
Step 3
Add thinly sliced king oyster mushrooms and stir-fry until all the vegetables are well combined. Lightly season with salt at this stage; it helps to bring out the natural sweetness of the vegetables. Once cooked, transfer the sautéed vegetables to a separate plate.
Step 4
Using the same pan, add the beef and cook it. Thinly sliced beef, like flat iron steak, cooks best over high heat for a short time. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become tough.
Step 5
Once the beef is nicely browned on both sides, season it lightly with salt and a dash of black pepper for extra flavor. The key is to cook it quickly to seal in the delicious juices.
Step 6
Slice the cooked beef into bite-sized pieces. Set the sliced beef aside on another plate.
Step 7
Now it’s time to stir-fry the bok choy. Add a little oil to the pan and quickly stir-fry the prepared bok choy. If the bok choy heads are large, cut them into quarters; smaller ones can be cut in half. It’s important to cook them briefly to maintain their crisp texture.
Step 8
Once the bok choy is lightly stir-fried and coated with oil, add back the sautéed vegetables and cooked beef. Pour in the oyster sauce (2 Tbsp) and toss everything together quickly to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated. The oyster sauce is the star, adding a deep umami flavor.
Step 9
Finally, drizzle in half a tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and a final touch. This dish is perfect served hot with a side of steamed rice!
