STIR FRY BEEF WITH GINGER AND GARLIC

Stir fry beef with ginger and garlic

Ingredients:
3 tbsp oil
500g beef steak, fat trimmed, meat sliced
        into thin strips
1 large red capsicum, julienned
200g green beans cut 6-8 cm pieces
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1-2 tbsp finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp water
1 tsp sesame oil
3 large spring onions, thinly sliced
Steam rice (optional)

Method

• Place a large wok over high heat.
• once the wok is very hot add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl the wok to coat with the oil.
• Add half of the beef and stir fry for about 2 mins or until the beef is semi cooked to medium rare.  Immediately transfer the beef to plate and set aside.
• Return the wok to high heat and repeat with 1 tablespoon of oil and the remainder of the beef, then remove to bowl. (Working in two batches will allow the beef to sear properly and transferring the beef mixture to a bowl will prevent it from over cooking.)
• Wipe the wok with a paper towel and return the wok to high heat.  Once hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and stir fry the capsicum and green bean for about 3 mins.
• Add the shallots, garlic, and ginger and toss.  Then and add the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, water and oyster sauce and continue to stir fry for a further 2 mins or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the sauce reduce slightly.
• Return the beef to the wok along with the spring onions.  Stir fry for 1 minute or until the beef is heated through.
• Stir in the sesame oil and remove from the heat.
• Serve with steamed rice if you desired.
