It is still unbelievable to me that I am living in the time of the pandemic. Months after, and we are still trying to normalize all that has happened, which is near impossible to do. People are trying to get by, to function again amidst all this chaos. But to be on the optimistic side, we just have to accept that there will be things that will remain a thing of the past. For one, travelling will never be the same, though I have no idea when I will travel again. All travel plans this year have been pushed to next year, best earliest estimate for my family to safely travel haha (as per my version).
So far, this has been a downer post, but I am also here to share my beef yakiniku recipe. So here goes.
The recipe for this is really simple but I found my mother asking for the recipe details at least once a month, and she's an excellent cook. Thus I wonder whether this recipe is more difficult than I thought. Should I lay it out here step by step and play by play? Not a bad idea. I mean, once upon a time I learnt how to cook my very first recipe and I really did need instructions even for the smallest things. I never should take this for granted I think 😊
Okay, so first, here are the ingredients needed:
300 gr beef slices
1 onion, cut thinly
3 green onion, white part, cut thinly
1 big bell pepper, sliced
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 cube beef bouillon
2 tbsp brown sugar
A dash of sesame oil
It is a good idea to have this ready within reach before the cooking process begins.
1. My current favourite cut is the frozen beef shabu shabu from Chef Delights. I like it because they cut the meat really thinly. I mean I could see my fingers on the other side of the meat when I hold it. Because it is so thin, the meat is tender and really soaks up the sauce.
Another reason why I prefer this brand is because of the low price 😚👌. They even have promotion going on often at Fair Price: $9 for 2 packs! I mean, it's hard to beat that.
What I like to do is to separate single strands of beef so that they won't stick together and form a giant ball of beef as we cook them.
2. Heat up around 2 tbsp of oil on medium high heat and saute the onion and the white part of the green onion first until soft.
3. Next, comes in the beef. Stiry fry while making sure they are separated, then add the oyster sauce and soy sauce. Wait for the meat to be medium cooked (most parts changed colour but some pink are left) and put the beef bouillon.
4. As the meat continues to cook, some of the jus will come out. Toss in the bell pepper now but be careful not to overcook them.
5.When the peppers start to soft, add the brown sugar and check for taste.
6.Add a dash of the sesame oil when the peppers are very close to your desired texture (cooking them around 3-4 minutes is usually enough), then turn off the heat.
That was super easy I think. What comes next is the dish washing. You're on your own on that one, sorry!
