Beef with Oyster Sauce
4 servings
15 minutes
Beef in oyster sauce is a typical Southeast Asian dish. It is best cooked, of course, in a wok, following all the rules: thinly sliced meat and vegetables are quickly fried over high heat. Broccoli florets are especially good - they remain crispy and bright. The oyster sauce included in the recipe looks like soy sauce, but it has a much richer taste. It is made from oyster extract, starch and sugar: Chinese housewives make it themselves, but it is easier to buy ready-made, of course.
1
Slice the beef fillet into thin pieces. Finely chop the ginger and slice the onion into thin half-rings. Break the broccoli into florets and boil for three minutes in boiling water. Cool down to prevent the florets from losing their green color.
