Beef and Vegetables in Sauce


Most of the time, I plan our meals a day or so ahead. But sometimes, I simply look at what's in the fridge and pantry and come up with a dish. That's the story behind this dish. I think the beef I used for this is beef Karubi. I just used a bunch of leftover vegetables and cooked them together.

You need:

garlic
onions
beef, thinly sliced
baby corn
beans
red bell pepper
soy sauce
oyster sauce
sugar
water
beef bouillon cube
pepper
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in a little water. 

Let's do this!

In a pan, add some oil. Saute the garlic and onions. Add the sliced red bell pepper. Add the baby corn and beans. Cook for a minute. Add the beef and cook until they are a bit brown on the edges. Add a tablespoon of soy sauce and half a tablespoon of oyster sauce. Add about a tablespoon of sugar. Add about a cup or so of water depending on how saucy you want the dish to be. Wait for the water to boil Add the beef cube. Let simmer for about 3 minutes. Season with pepper. Add the cornstarch water to thicken the sauce. Be sure to taste before serving so you can adjust the seasonings. If it's salty, add some more water. If it's bland, add some salt.
