    Stir-fried Beef and Mushroom Recipe

    Ingredients

    1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

    1 lb mushrooms (cremini, button, or shiitake), sliced
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    2 tablespoons oyster sauce
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine (optional, adds depth)
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Optional: 1 teaspoon sesame oil for extra aroma

    Directions

    1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer for a more tender result.

    2. Prepare the sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine (if using), and 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch.

    3. Stir-fry: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and almost cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside.

    4. Sauté mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add minced garlic and stir-fry briefly.

    5. Combine and finish: Return the beef to the wok. Add the prepared sauce and stir-fry everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and mushrooms evenly. Stir in the scallions and sesame oil (if using) at the very end.

    6. Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over steamed rice.

    Tips and Variations:

    – Other vegetables like bell peppers or onions can be added for extra flavor.

    – You can substitute the beef with chicken or pork, adjusting cooking times accordingly.

    – For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
