Beef Stir Fry

Realized that I do not have a single beef recipe in my blog. I do not cook beef often and when I do, it is mostly the beef ulerthiyethe and sometimes beef steak. Recently I discovered an easier one: the Chinese stir fry. I modified the recipe to suit as per available ingredients.

3. Oyster Sauce - 1+ 1 tbsp. (optional)

4. Pepper powder - 1 tsp.

5. Garlic powder - 1 tsp. (optional)

6. Onions sliced lengthwise - 2nos.

7. Garlic sliced lengthwise  - 6 cloves

8. Capsicum cut into cubes - 1 no (if available)

9. Green Chilly sliced - 1 number (optional)

10. - Corn Flour - 1 tsp. (mix in half cup of water)

10. Butter - 1 tbsp.

Method

Marinate the beef  with a tablespoon each of the sauce and pepper powder for 1 hour or less. Pressure cook this for 15 minutes on low flame. Leave the gravy and fry the beef in butter until it is slightly brown. Now add the onion and garlic along with the gravy. Let it cook until the onion turns soft. Once the water runs dry, add the capsicum. Saute for a while and add the corn flour mixed in water. Let it boil until a gravy is formed. At this point you can add the green chilly if you need that extra punch(heat).

Enjoy!
