Recipe Story

It doesn't get any easier than this. It's best prepared in a wok but a frypan will do. If you've never used oyster sauce before don't let it scare you. There is almost no hint of oysters, it's a kind of a super soy sauce and can be used in place of soy sauce in many recipes to "kick it up a notch".

Ingredients

 
1 Lb. lean beef (Flank or Sirloin)
 
1 head Bok Choy
 
3 Tablespoons Oyster sauce
 
2 Tablespoons peanut oil (vegetable oil is OK)

Directions

Slice the beef as thin as possible and cut into pieces 2"-3" long (slicing across the grain insures tenderness)
Separate the Bok Choy leaves and rinse to remove any dirt. I usually don't use the very center leaves. Cut off the bottom 1/2" and most of the green leafy tops. Chop the remainder of the Bok Choy stalks into 1" pieces. Cutting them at a diagonal makes them more appealing.
TIME TO COOK
In a very hot wok add 1 tablespoon oil, immediately add the beef and stir to separate the beef pieces and distribute them around the wok. Continue to stir slowly until all pieces are no longer pink. Remove the beef from the wok and wipe out any liquid that remains with a paper towel. Let the wok heat back up and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok, then add the bok choy. Stir until each piece is shiny and heated just to warm. Be careful not to cook this vegetable too much. Add the beef back into the wok , stir and add the Oyster sauce. Continue stirring until everything is coated with the sauce. Serve immediately. Serving this dish over white rice compliments it's savory flavors.
