Come Dine In

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 kilo beef, cut into strips – use the part you prefer (I can work with any kind, so here I used quick fry steak)
3 tbsp. teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp. oyster sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. ground nut oil (vegetable oil will do)
1 medium onion, sliced
1/2 of the whole medium bell pepper – I used red and green
1 medium carrots, sliced into half an inch thick plus about few pieces in 1/4 inch thick to garnish
freshly ground pepper
toasted sesame seeds

METHOD:
1. Mix the teriyaki sauce, oyster sauce and soy sauce together to make a marinade. Add in the beef and leave for about 15-30 mins.

2. Heat a large non-stick pan and fry the beef in the ground nut oil (leaving a little for sauteing the veggies) for about 3-5 mins, browning on both sides. Reserve the marinade. Transfer in a plate and set aside.

3. On the same pan, tip in the remaining oil and saute the onion, bell pepper and carrots for about a minute or 2. Bring back the beef on to the pan and mix with the veggies. Now pour in the marinade left and mix until well blended, about 1 to 2 mins. Season with freshly ground pepper.

4. Serve with rice or noodles. Garnish with the think slices of carrots and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.

Alright, this time I really am not expecting any comments from my taster, but to my surprise he said “hhhmmm… sarap ah!” Well, that line says it all. My prayer worked. Happy Home-Cooking everyone!
