Preparation

In a mixing bowl combine oyster sauce, hot water, sesame oil and sugar. Add the beef and marinate for ten minutes.

Heat the wok over high heat until smoking hot. Add oil, then add the beef and seal on each side for 1 minute, the beef should be charred and the wok flaming.

Add the garlic, onions and butter to the wok and continue to stir fry for a further 2 minutes. The beef should be medium rare.

If you don't have a large wok, then cook the beef in two batches. This will ensure that the heat will stay at a constant high.

Serve with jasmine rice or baguette and dip into soy and chilli.

Just tried this with some pineapple sticky rice, the beef was so tender and tasty with an awesome hot peppery tang

Hot Tips

Cooking artichokes

Remove several layers of the bitter exterior leaves and trim remaining leaves before submerging and cooking artichokes in salted water for around 15 minutes (use a dinner plate on top of the artichokes to keep them under water). A thin skewer should meet little resistance when they are cooked.

Glossary

Chilli Powder

A powder made from ground dried chillies which varies in heat and flavour depending on the type of chilli used.
