Tender Beef, Easy to Realize With SECRET Ingredient!
You can use "Beef Fillet" or as I did "Rump Steak". Cut the meat in fine thin stripes and put it in a bowl.Add the following ingredients:
½ Tsp Rice Wine
1 Tsp Cornflour
½ Tsp Light Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
And HERE the SECRET ingredient:
Add 1 Tbsp Sodium bicarbonate as it makes the meat very tender.
Mix everything with the hands and put the bowl with the meat marinade into the fridge for +/- 1/2 hour - 1 hour.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT put salt on the meat!! Because of the sauce with Soy the meat will get enough salty taste ;)
Preparation of the Vegetables
Meanwhile as the beef is into the fridge you can already prepare the vegetables. In my case I was choosing:
Bamboo shoots
1/2 green pepper
1 onion
5 spring onions
Chop the green (or red) pepper into fine slices.
Chop the onion into fine slices.
Chop the spring onions into +/- 1 inch slices and separate the white parts. The green parts will ONLY get used at the end of the cooking.
Take the WOK-pan, put some Sesame oil in it and cook the vegetables one apart the other for +/- 2 minutes and live them in a bowl separately.
Do the same with the Ginger and the garlic.
Preparation of the Meat
Put some Sesame oil in the WOK-pan and fry the beef for +/- 2 minutes (see photo, please) and put it aside..
Preparation of the Sauce
Place the oyster sauce (I used Fish sauce, works also fine...) and Hoisin sauce in a bowl.
Add dark soy sauce and brown sugar.
Add Sesame oil and black pepper.
Add Beef Stock.
Mix well.
Preparation Is Done, Let Us Cook the Whole Now...
Take the WOK-pan and put some Sesame oil in it. Wait till the oil is HOT and add the beef with the garlic, white parts of the spring onions and ginger.
Stir-Fry for +/- 2 minutes.
Add the other vegetables and stir-fry for +/- 30 seconds.
Add the sauce mixture.
Stir-Fry for a minute.
Add the green parts of the spring onion and stir-fry for 10 seconds.
Remove from the WOK-pan and serve with rice or Pilau-Rice.
Bon Appétit
Bon appétit, enjoy it!
