Ingredients

  • 500 g beef steak such as rump, flank or sirloin, cut into 4–5mm slices
  • 2 tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 onion sliced into thin wedges
  • 4 cm piece fresh ginger cut into thin matchsticks
  • 300 g mushrooms shiitake, king, oyster, halved or quartered
  • 3 long green shallots cut into 5cm pieces
  • 2 tbs sweet soy sauce
  • ½ tsp bicarb soda
  • 3 tsp cornflour
  • ¼ cup oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tsp caster sugar
  • 2 tsp white vinegar

Instructions

  • Place the beef in a bowl with the light soy sauce, bicarb soda and cornflour. Mix well to coat the beef evenly, then set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a wok over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly. Add the vegetable oil, then add the beef.
  • Spread the slices out and allow them to sear before stir-frying for a few minutes until just browned. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  • Add the ginger, green onion and onion to the wok with a little more oil, and stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry until they begin to soften.
  • Return the beef to the wok along with the sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, caster sugar and white vinegar.
  • Toss everything together and stir-fry until the sauce is thick and glossy and the beef is cooked through and serve.
