Simple and Low-Cost Beef Stir Fry

This recipe needs only a few ingredients and is really low-cost especially the prices for vegetables have gone up in winter. Yet, it is delicious, easy to prepare and can be made using different variations. The recipe is inspired by the review of R., Payne, who mentioned, “This stir-fry is the best after marinating overnight, cook and put in with some cooked rice and steamed veges, dinner done.”

 

1 packet of Beef Stir-Fry 500g

½ packets of 1kg Frozen vegetables (any brand and variation preferred)

1 tbsp. minced garlic

3 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tbsp. oyster sauce

½ tbsp. sugar

Oil for stir-frying

Sesame seed to decorate (optional)

Spring Onion, chopped finely (optional)

Combine the garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar, mix into a paste.

Place the beef stir-fry in the paste, and mix well. Marinade for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Heat the wok or pan with oil, and cook the beef until light brown, then put in the frozen vegetables. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the vegetables have defrosted and cooked.

Serve on rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions for a more appetizing look.

Instead of making the paste, this recipe can be prepared with store-bought Teriyaki Sauce or other flavors preferred.

If there is any remaining marinade, pour it in the wok/ pan with the frozen vegetables to add some liquid to the dish.
