Sweet Pea and Oyster beef with Jasmine rice

Happy new week to you all!
Lets start it of with some chinese food! Yes I love chinese food and I cook it alot. I love experimenting with different spices and creating new meals.
On Saturday I did just that.
I made sweet pea and oyster beef. It was extremely simple and fast and INCREDIBLY TASTY. I was licking my plate and I had two servings and leftovers the next day #dontjudgeme :-))

Oh well here it is so that you can try it too.

Ingredients:- serves 4-5
Beef strips [tenderloin] 400-500 gr
1 red pepper/hoho
1 onion
4 Spring onions
1/2 pack sweet pea
4 garlic cloves
Ginger
Blue dragon oyster and spring onion stir-fry sauce
Dark Soy sauce
Black pepper
2 cups Jasmine rice
Vegetable/olive oil

Start of by boiling the rice. [2 cups rice to 4 cups water] Once it is ready, put aside.

Then chop onions, ginger and garlic. Leave the spring onions for later. Take a sufuria/cooking pot and cook the onions, ginger and garlic with some vegetable/olive oil. 

Chop the sweet peas in halves and the red peppers in cubes and add to the pot.

Follow by adding the meat and cover. 

 After a few minutes, stir and add blue dragon oyster sauce [the full packet] stir and cover yet again.

 

Keep checking and stirring making sure the meat doesn't stick in the bottom.Add the spring onions. After a few minutes you'll notice that as the meat is cooking, it is also releasing some water. You can add 1/2 to 1 cup depending on the consistency you want.

Cook for another few minutes. Uncover and add soy sauce for the color and mushroom flavor. Be careful not to add too much [precisely 3-4 tablespoons] and a dash of black pepper and salt if needed. [Note: that the oyster sauce and soy sauce are already salty] At this point you don't have to cover. Allow to cook a bit more and allow sauce to thicken.

Once it is done, remove from heat.
Also note that you can add the red pepper and sweet pea after the meat and not before if you want your veggies to be a bit crunchy like they make them in chinese restaurants.
VOILA!!!
Serve with jasmine rice and enjoy!

Simple, tasty and fast too!!!
I recommend the soft part of the cow meat for this recipe [tenderloin] since I didn't have to boil my meet before for it to soften. The butcher recommended that part and even cut it up in strips for me and it cooked fast and was very tender.
