I absolutely love cooking with beef and mushrooms. There’s something about the combination of these two ingredients that creates a hearty and satisfying dish. Today, I’m going to share with you my favorite recipe for beef mushroom that’s sure to impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of beef (such as sirloin or tenderloin), thinly sliced
- 8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced (I prefer using a mix of cremini and shiitake mushrooms for extra flavor)
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for cooking
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by marinating the beef slices with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat a pan or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and stir-fry until fragrant.
- Toss in the marinated beef and cook until it’s no longer pink. Then, remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed and stir-fry the mushrooms and bell pepper until they are tender.
- Return the cooked beef to the pan and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once everything is heated through, transfer the beef mushroom stir-fry to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions.
This beef mushroom dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles. The savory umami flavor from the mushrooms combined with the tender beef makes it a delightful meal for any occasion.
My Personal Touch:
One of my favorite variations of this recipe is to add a splash of rice vinegar and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of tang and heat. It gives the dish a nice kick without overpowering the natural flavors of the beef and mushrooms.
Conclusion:
I hope you give this beef mushroom recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do. It’s a versatile dish that can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. Whether you’re cooking for a weeknight dinner or hosting a special gathering, this flavorful and comforting dish is sure to be a hit.
