Chinese Beef with Mushrooms

If you enjoy beef and mushrooms you are in for a real treat with this oriental inspired dish. You don't need to feel intimidated in making this dish because it is very easy to prepare. Soy sauce combined with Oyster sauce and other spices make for a delicious gravy. By adding beef and mushrooms and any vegetables like onions, peppers or even broccoli to the gravy, you have a complete meal. This oriental dish will not disappoint. My husband and two kids really enjoyed this dish. In fact, they enjoy anything that has oriental inspired flavors; especially when it is served over white or brown rice. I guarantee you won't have any leftovers!

Chinese Beef with Mushrooms
Ingredients:
11/2 lb flank steak, sliced into thin strips
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 T. oyster sauce
4 T. soy sauce
2 t. sugar
1 t. salt
1/2 t. Ground Black pepper
4 t. cornstarch
1 c. water
2 T. Oil
1 c. Fresh mushrooms, sliced

Directions:
Step 1: In a large bowl combine garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, water and cornstarch. Mix well. Add flank steak and marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Heat a wok or fry pan to medium high heat. Add oil. Remove Steak slices from the marinade with a slotted spoon (reserving the marinade) and place into the pan and stir fry until the steak is fully cooked (about 5 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Add a little more oil to the wok if necessary and add mushroom slices. Stir fry mushrooms for 3 minutes or until tender. Add the marinade liquid to the wok, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 seconds. Return steak to the pan and simmer until heated through.
