Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 300 g beef preferably flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic chopped
  • 100 g king oyster mushrooms sliced
  • 100 g button mushrooms sliced
  • 4 dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated and cut into slices.
  • 50 g snow peas
  • 1/2 bell pepper use a mix of red and green, sliced

For the Stir-Fry Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce

For Finishing:

  • 1 tsp cornstarch for slurry
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tbsp thinly sliced spring onions

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the beef: Thinly slice the beef (if not already done) and set aside. In a small dish, combine the cornstarch with one tablespoon of water to form a smooth mixture. Set aside.
  • Prepare the vegetables: Slice the mushrooms, bell pepper, and prepare the snow peas. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for about 15 minutes, then slice them once they’ve softened.
  • Make the stir-fry sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, and dark soy sauce. This will be your stir-fry sauce (Ingredients B). Set aside.
  • Cook the beef: In a wok or large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sauté until it's browned and almost fully cooked, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove it from the pan and set it aside.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil. Stir-fry the garlic until fragrant, then add the king oyster mushrooms, button mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms.
  • Add remaining vegetables: Toss in the snow peas and bell peppers. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
  • Combine beef and sauce: Return the beef to the wok and pour in the stir-fry sauce. Combine all the ingredients until the beef and vegetables are evenly coated. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Finish with flavor: Add the Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and the cornstarch slurry. Stir for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and everything is evenly coated.
  • Garnish and serve: Top with thinly sliced spring onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice for a delicious, savory meal.
