Stir-fried Beef Strips with Leek
Hello everyone
Today I am going to share with you "Stir-fried Beef Strips with Leek"
This pack of beef strips weighed 357g costs £ 3.8
These leeks in Hong Kong we likely called "京蔥"
These 3 leeks cost 85 pence
Only 1 leek will be used
These 3 leeks weigh 500 grams
I only can bought shredded beef or diced beef in UK
Not find a whole piece of beef
For slicing
Someone has asked how to prepare beef to be tender
Two ways to treat the beef to less tough
First marinate without salt
Salt will make the beef tend to more tough
Simplified seasoning to marinate is enough
The second is to deep fry the beef in short time
The time cannot too long (about 20 to 30 seconds)
This 350g beef
The quantity of light soy sauce added will be
2 teaspoons approximately
This is a tablespoon
About 2 / 3 tablespoon
Sugar 1 teaspoon
This water is 1 tablespoon
Mix well with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
This liquid starch
Will be pour in several times separately
Add in 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Keep in fridge for half an hour
Open the leaves to rinse the leek thoroughly
Tear away the tough fibers if any
Cut away the root portion
Bevel the leek
I mentioned before it is better to deep-fry beef
otherwise use a little more oil
To stir-fry the beef
After the stir-fry
Drain the excess oil from beef
If deep fry the time should be 20 to 30 seconds
The time not more than 1 minute if stir fry
longer time the beef would tend to be tough
Scoop out the medium well to nearly well done beef
Saute chopped garlic cloves and 2 ginger slices
Saute the leek
As the beef has already seasoned
Add a bit of oyster sauce as seasoning
Sprinkle a bit of cooking wine
But the wine will lay over some taste of the beef
So wine is optional
Lid on the leek for a short while
I cover it
20 to 30 seconds
I missed the shot of adding in the beef
Mix the beef with leek and stir fry evenly
