If not, this recipe is a perfect place to start, along with my popular recipe for Beef with Onions\u00a0! \n\n\n\nThe Beef with Onions\n\n\n\nWhen we home cooks decide to make a stir fry, we usually fall into one of two camps : either we assume it is ultra easy - just toss everything in a pan and stir like mad - or we think it is too hard and should be left to the pros.\n\n\n\nThe truth is that stir frying is simple - you just need the right ingredients and a few key techniques. That is exactly what this recipe delivers: tender beef, crunchy vegetables, and a sauce packed with flavor.\n\n\n\nThe ingredients for honey beef\n\n\n\n\nLight soy sauce: This is the standard salty soy sauce you find in stores. Do not confuse it with dark soy sauce\n\n\n\nOyster sauce: No, it does not taste like oysters; yes, it is essential; and yes, I have a full article about it\n\n\n\n\nServe it with a delicious Cantonese fried rice\n\n\n\nHow to prepare the beef for honey beef?\n\n\n\nThe golden rule for slicing steak for Chinese stir fries is to cut against the \"grain.\" But how do you do that? First, find the direction of the long muscle fibers, then slice across them, as if you were cutting a bundle of strings into shorter pieces.\n\n\n\nIf the grain is not obvious, hold the steak in both hands and gently bend it into a convex shape. As the top surface stretches, the grain will become clearer. Small parallel lines will appear - that is the grain.\n\n\n\n\n\n\tChinese Honey Beef\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t400 g sliced beef0.5 red bell pepper, thinly sliced0.5 green bell pepper, thinly sliced1 handful of bean sprouts1 celery stalk, sliced1 minced garlic clove2 slices of ginger1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 4 tsp waterMARINADE4 tsp honey3 tbsp light soy sauce1 tbsp water1 sliced green onion2 tsp cornstarchSAUCE1 tbsp oyster sauce50 g chicken broth1 tsp sugar\t\n\t\n\t\tMarinate the beef for 15 minutes and mix the sauce in a bowlIn a thin layer of oil over medium-high heat, stir-fry the beef for 2\u20133 min until almost cooked.
