OYSTER SAUCE BEEF MARINADE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the beef against the grain in medium slices. Wash and strain the blood out of the meat.
• Make the sauce by mixing baking soda, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, water, cornstarch, white pepper, sugar, and cooking wine.
• Add the beef to the marinade and massage to have the meat fully covered with the marinade. Set aside and let it sit for 30 mins.
• Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces.
• In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, water, cooking wine, sugar, cornstarch, and white pepper.
• Boil the broccoli with a little bit of oil and salt and cook it to your preference. Drain once cooked.
• Add some cooking oil into the marinated beef and mix until all the meat is lightly coated in oil. This will seal in the juices of the meat.
• Add the remaining oil and stir-fry the sides.
• Add the sauce to the stir-fry and constantly mix for about 1 minute. Add sesame oil. Once everything is incorporated, add a little more leftover oil to coat the broccoli- it will make it look very appetizing.
• Taste to adjust the flavors and plate once it's to your taste!

Steps:

• We'll start by trimming the fat off the edges of our beef fillet.
• In a bowl, we'll mix black pepper, cornstarch, water, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine, and red wine.
• Before we mix the beef with the marinade, we'll want to squeeze as much fluid out as we can. One of the main goals of this dish is to avoid having excess fluid or sauce pooling when we're done cooking it.
• For our vegetables, we'll be mincing garlic, and slicing up a variety of bell peppers and red onion for color. For each bell pepper, we'll only be using about 1/4 to 1/3 of each, so if you'd rather just stick to one color and use up a whole entire bell pepper, that's fine too.
• Next, we'll create the sauce for our black pepper beef. We'll be mixing cornstarch, water, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, red wine, salt, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing cooking wine.
• We'll set our stove to high heat and let our wok heat up for about 2-3 minutes. Once our wok is hot enough, we'll add about 2 tbsp of corn oil, or any oil with a high smoke point, until the oil is shimmering, or forming ripples across the surface.
• Restaurants are able to get away with tossing everything all at once, since they have much more powerful stoves and larger woks.
• My dad always tries a taste to see if it needs any adjustments.
