Ingredients

  • 450 g 1 lb beef fillet
  • 1 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsps sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
  • 2 tsps cornflour cornstarch
  • 3 Tbsp groundnut peanut oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped spring onions to garnish

Instructions

  • Place the marinade ingredients—light soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing rice wine, and cornstarch into a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set it aside.
  • Cut the beef into thick slices about 2"/5cm long and place into the bowl of marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes (or overnight) to marinate.
  • Heat a wok over high heat until very hot, then add the groundnut oil. When the oil is hot and slightly smoking, add the beef and stir fry for 5 minutes until cooked. Remove beef from the wok, drain, and discard oil.
  • Reheat the wok and add the oyster sauce. Bring to a simmer and add the drained beef slices to the sauce. Stir to mix thoroughly, then transfer to a serving dish.
    Garnish with spring onions, serve, and enjoy!
