BEEF IN OYSTER SAUCE



Beef in Oyster Sauce image

I love this dish. It's full of flavor, and takes minutes to cook. This is definitely, one of my favorite suppers. This is essentially 3 stir fried dishes in one - stir fried spinach, beef in oyster sauce and mushrooms in tangy vinegar. This dish uses all my top store cupboard ingredients: groundnut oil for the stir-fry, light soy sauce, Shaohsing rice wine, Chinkiang black rice vinegar and dried chile flakes. It also has oyster sauce in it. Try and find an oyster sauce which doesn't have chemical additives or Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in it - some people are allergic to MSG so check the label to make sure that it doesn't have flavor enhancers. This is a balanced dish because of the use of spinach - (yin) and meat and garlic (yang). Stir frying has a neutral element. You can serve this with plain Jasmine rice or just with the spinach and mushrooms.

OYSTERS WITH SPINACH AND LEMON SAUCE



Oysters With Spinach and Lemon Sauce image

Purchase oysters from a reputable seafood seller. The fresher the better, so ask when they were harvested and avoid oysters more than 3 days old. Look for oysters that are tightly closed and displayed on ice. At home, give them a good scrub and store them over ice in the refrigerator, either in a mesh bag or loosely wrapped in a kitchen towel. Do not place them directly on the ice - the fresh water will harm the. Adapted from Yankee Magazine.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: For this recipe, it's best to use a lean cut of beef, such as flank steak or sirloin steak. These cuts are tender and cook quickly.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in the oyster sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Stir-fry in a hot pan: Be sure to use a large skillet or wok that is heated over high heat. This will help to sear the beef and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Cook the beef in batches: If you're using a large amount of beef, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help to ensure that the beef cooks evenly.
  • Add the spinach at the end: Spinach cooks very quickly, so it's best to add it to the pan towards the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent it from becoming overcooked.

Conclusion:

Beef and spinach in oyster sauce is a quick and easy stir-fry that is packed with flavor. It's a great weeknight meal that can be on the table in under 30 minutes. Serve it over rice or noodles, or with a side of steamed vegetables.
