Stir Fry Maitake Mushroom & Beef With Oyster Sauce

Submitted by kda949

"This recipe is from a Japanese Mushroom company called Yukiguni Maitake Corporation. I bought some maitake mushrooms at a local japanese market and wanted to add the recipe here so that I can find it tomorrow when I plan to cook them! I would image you could use regular "gringo" mushrooms too. But I have read that the health benefits of maitake mushrooms is really really good- especially for cancer."

ingredients

• 7 ounces maitake mushrooms
• 1 lb top sirloin steak, sliced into strips

directions

1. Marinate the beef in a mixture of equal parts soy sauce and white wine for 5 to 6 minutes.
