How to Make Beef Mushroom Stir Fry

Step 1: Marinate the Beef

In a bowl, combine the sliced beef, baking soda, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Toss everything together until the beef is well coated and set aside for at least 10 minutes to marinate.

Step 2: Make the Stir Fry Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Stir-fry the Ingredients

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and spread it out in a single layer. Let the beef sear for 2 minutes without stirring, allowing it to brown on one side. Then, toss the beef and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through. Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and julienned ginger to the skillet or wok, and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir in the quartered mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until they start to brown slightly.

Step 4: Add the Sauce and Finish

Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the beef and vegetables, and toss to combine well. Cook for another minute, or until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish the stir fry with sliced green onions and serve immediately with rice or noodles.
