THE BARBECUE STEAK WITH OYSTER SAUCE STIR FRY MAGIC: This recipe can be prepared in fifteen minutes and cooks in ten minutes. It can yield about four servings on the regular.
INGREDIENTS:
One half cup Sinsin Oyster Sauce
Two teaspoon minced ginger
Two teaspoon minced red chilli
One fourth cup Sherry
Four lean beef sirloin steaks, scotch or rump (in bite sizes or in strips)
One to two teaspoons sesame oil
One broccoli head, cut into florets
One red capsicum, deseeded and sliced
One red onion, peeled and sliced
Two hundred fifty grams Swiss brown mushrooms, please cut them in quarters
THE PROCEDURE:
To begin with, let us prepare the sauce. Combine the Sinsin Oyster Sauce, the ginger and chilli, the sherry and mix them well with a wooden mixing spoon. Please divide the sauce into two halves where the half would serve as the marinade for the stir-fry. Then add the steaks in the marinade bowl and cover the bowl to marinate for 30 minutes or longer. Make sure that the steak strips are fully coated by the marinade by mixing them well.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and BBQ over a moderate heat on a preheated oiled hot plate or grill for three to four minutes on each side. Remove the steaks and set aside in a warm place covered with foil for four minutes to rest.
Meanwhile, begin frying by heating the sesame oil in a wok in medium high heat on your American stove. Stir-fry the broccoli, the capsicum and the red onion for about three minutes. Add one fourth cup of water and cover the pan, but reduce the temperature until the broccoli is just tender enough. Increase the heat again and toss in the mushrooms with the other half or the reserved oyster sauce mixture. Toss and stir the ingredients very quickly to cook the mushrooms and heat the sauce till it is slightly thickened.
Pour the vegetables over the barbecued steaks and serve immediately while it is hot. This is your main entree and it is great if serve with hot steaming rice.
