Improptu Beef Stir-Fry ala Rieaane's
Topic: Beef
I named it improptu beef stir fry since I cooked it in an impromptu way. My brother called me early morning on the 1st day of Eid and he said he will bring beef to our home so that I can cook it for our lunch. We planned to go to the seaside at 1:00 o'clock and I never cooked anything for our lunch because I was waiting for him. He arrived in our home at 12:30 pm already. Naaa...only 30 minutes before 1 o'clock. The beef was not slice yet so I have to slice it quickly. I sliced a small portion from it just for me to cook that time, around 500 g or more maybe. I really don't know how to cook it quickly that time, so while I was slicing it I was thinking of many ways how it would be done in less than half an hour. I finished slicing it at 12:40 pm. and I cooked it in less than 20 minutes time. My brother requested me to cook the remaining beef on the same way. He likes it. LOL :) Here's how I made it.

Ingredients:
500 g beef, sliced thinly
1/3 tsp. turmeric powder
3 tbsp. cooking oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, sliced into rings
1/3 tsp. black pepper powder
3 tbsp. light soy sauce
2 tbsp. oyster sauce or to taste
1/3 cup water or more
1 tsp. sesame oil

Directions:
1. Combine turmeric powder and beef.
2. Heat oil in non-stick frying pan. Stir fry the beef for 2 minutes or until the color changes evenly. Add garlic and black pepper powder. Cook for 3 minutes
3. Add water and cook until the liquids are absorbed.
4. Add the sauces and onion rings, stir and cook for 1 minute or until the sauces are incorporated well with the meat.
5. Turn off heat and stir in the sesame oil. Serve over steam rice.
