SPICY BEEF FILET IN OYSTER SAUCE

My good friend Lin gave me a recipe for beef in oyster sauce, I misread the amount of black pepper called for in her recipe, and the result was fantastic! I especially like the recipe because no soy sauce is used. My husband likes to eat them with the leftover sliced uncooked onion to bring out the sweetness of the oyster sauce.

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.

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces beef fillet (tenderloin), pounded and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Pinch sugar
2 tablespoons groundnut oil (peanut), divided
3 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
1 medium chile, seeded and finely chopped
7 ounces baby spinach leaves
1 tablespoon Shaohsing rice wine
Pinch dried chile flakes
1 teaspoon groundnut oil (peanut)
4 ounces oyster mushrooms
Water, as needed
1 tablespoon black rice vinegar* (recommended: Chinkiang) or balsamic vinegar
Dash light soy sauce

Steps:

  • To make the beef: Prepare the fillet of beef by hammering it with a meat cleaver, the side of a meat cleaver, the side of a Chinese cleaver or a rolling pin. Slice it thinly, and put the pieces into a bowl. Season the beef with the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Set aside.
  • Heat a wok over high heat, and add 1 tablespoon groundnut oil. Add the garlic, and chile, and toss quickly. Then, add the spinach leaves, and toss so they warm for 5 seconds. Scatter them onto a large serving plate.
  • Heat the wok over high heat, and add the remaining groundnut oil. Add the beef slices, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, adding a dash of Shaohsing rice wine. Season with a pinch of dried chile flakes. To serve, lay the beef over a bed of the garlic-spinach leaves.
  • To make the mushrooms: Reheat the wok, add the oil, then add the oyster mushrooms and stir fry for 1 minute. Add a small splash of water to create some steam to help cook. Season with the black rice vinegar, and light soy sauce. Spoon the mixture over the beef, and serve.

ROAST BEEF SIRLOIN WITH SIMPLE ASIAN SAUCE



Roast beef sirloin with simple Asian sauce image

Tender meat seasoned with an easy-to-make aromatic sauce

Provided by John Torode

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 6 with plenty of leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 10

2kg boneless beef sirloin
2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 tsp caster sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
handful coriander
300ml chicken stock
1 garlic clove , sliced
3cm piece fresh root ginger , thinly sliced
100ml oyster sauce
3 spring onions , sliced

Steps:

  • Score the fat on the beef in a criss-cross pattern. Mix together the five-spice and sugar, then season really well with salt and pepper. Rub all over the beef, then leave to marinate, preferably overnight.
  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. When ready to cook, rub the oil all over the meat. Heat a griddle pan or, if the weather is good, a barbecue. You'll need to leave the griddle pan for 10-15 mins to make sure it gets really hot. Place the meat, fat-side down, on the griddle and leave to cook for 5-10 mins until the fat starts to melt (the kitchen will probably get quite smoky so make sure you have an extractor fan turned on). Turn the meat over and cook for 5 mins more until it is well browned all over.
  • Place in a roasting tin, then cook in the oven for 30 mins for rare (15-20 mins more for medium, or 30-40 mins more for well done). Cover and leave to rest for 15 mins.
  • To make the sauce, trim the stalks from the coriander and place them in a pan along with the stock, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce and the white part of the spring onion. Bring to the boil, then leave to simmer and infuse for 10 mins. Strain, then chop the coriander leaves and place in the sauce along with the green spring onion slices to serve.
