How To Make Beef And Mushroom Stir-Fry
Making this delicious beef and mushroom stir-fry is effortless and the final result is absolutely amazing. First, marinate the beef with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, corn starch and baking soda for 10 to 15 minutes. Next, prepare the brown sauce in a small bowl by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, corn starch and cold water. Set aside. Heat the wok or a skillet with oil and deep-fry the garlic slices until crispy. Dish out and set aside. In the same wok, stir-fry beef over high heat until 70% cooked and dish out. Then, heat the wok with more oil and stir-fry mushrooms for a few minutes. Return the beef to the wok and stir-fry with mushroom for 2 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through. Last but not least, add the brown sauce mixture and stir consistently until the sauce thickens. Dish out and sprinkle the crispy garlic on top. Serve immediately.
Cooking Tips
For the best tender beef, marinate the meat with corn starch and baking soda along with other ingredients. To ensure the beef remains tender and juicy from the inside, stir-fry the marinated beef over high heat until 70% cooked. Dish out and set aside. The beef will be cooked through while cooking with the mushrooms and sauce in the last few minutes. Do Not overcook the meat. The brown sauce should be light and not sticky.
