Hoisin Beef Stir-Fry

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"This is another of the recipes I made on my Asian night, I also made garlic, ginger, green onion chicken, which I will be posting at a later date. As I stated on my last post, because I made a few dishes my ingredients were less than listed below, I think I have guessed right on the amounts to feed 4 as a main meal."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 16
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• black pepper
• 6 green onions, sliced thinly
• 2 red chilies, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
• 80 ml chinese rice wine
• 60 ml soy sauce
• 800 g beef, strips
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• 1 brown onion, sliced thinly
• 1 red capsicum, sliced thinly
• 100 g fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly

• 60 ml water
• 80 ml hoisin sauce (I use blue dragon brand.)

directions

1. Combine sesame oil, pepper, 3 sliced green onions, chillies, garlic, ginger, half the wine and half the soy sauce in a large bowl or storage container, add beef strips and toss to coat. Marinade several hours or overnight.
2. Heat peanut oil in a pan or wok, add beef mixture in batches and cook until browned, add onion and capsicum and stir-fry a couple of minutes.
3. Add mushrooms, choy sum stalks, water, hoisin and the remaining wine and soy sauce, stir-fry about 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender.
4. Add choy sum leaves, stir-fry until leaves just wilt.
5. Divide among serving bowls and top with remaining green onion.
6. I served as is, to make a low carb meal, but if you want to add the carbs it is great paired with steamed Jasmine rice.
