Ingredients for Al S Beef And Spinach In Oyster Sauce

  • Sirloin Steak
  • 200g frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 4 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • Peanut Oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • Green Peppers
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

How to Make Al S Beef And Spinach In Oyster Sauce

  1. Prepare the noodles according to package directions.
  2. Slice the beef thinly against the grain into narrow strips.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Test the heat by adding a small piece of onion; it should sizzle immediately.
  4. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the wok. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the beef is browned but still slightly pink inside.
  6. Stir in the grated ginger.
  7. Add the sliced bell pepper and thawed, squeezed spinach. Stir-fry for 1 minute until the spinach wilts.
  8. Reduce heat to medium. Pour in the oyster sauce, stirring well to combine and coat the beef and vegetables.
  9. Cook for 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (you may want to add a pinch of salt and pepper).
  11. Serve the beef and spinach mixture immediately over a bed of cooked noodles.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
