Units Scale
Stir Fry
- 600 g beef strips
- 2 pcs carrots
- 2 pcs courgettes
- 1 bunch Asian greens
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- mayonnaise, to serve
- crispy shallots, to garnish
- olive oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the jasmine rice, water(for the rice) and the salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water has absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don’t peek!
- While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the carrot and courgette into half-moons. Roughly chop the Asian greens.
- In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients together
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot and courgette until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add the remaining sesame oil blend, then season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the beef strips, in batches, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Add the oyster sauce mixture and cook until bubbling, 30 seconds. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
- Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the Chinese saucy beef and sesame veggies. Serve with the mayonnaise and garnish with the crispy shallots.
