This is exactly the way Oyster Sauce Beef (蚝油牛肉) is made in China. Very clear instructions, no fluff. The beef marinating and coating (上浆) part is just ON POINT.
One tip for slicing the beef (or chicken or pork for other recipes): put the meat in a freezer for 15-30 minutes first, then take it out and slice it. It’s not enough to fully freeze the meat but it will be firmer and much easier to slice and it won’t be cold enough to affect the cooking; especially since most recipes call for marinating the meat for 15-30 minutes first.
Great tip, thank you for sharing! Freezing the meat slightly to make slicing easier is indeed a handy trick.
💯 % makes the removal of the fat & sinew faster from being in the freezer. This also works with Fish when the flesh is to soft to fillet. Iced water will rehydrate vegetables & firm them up when they are limp like celery, carrots & starchy vegetables for stews & stir frying allowing extra time for preparation.
Sam, thank you for such delicious recipes. Please can you share a recipe for "Special Cantonese Chow Mein" the one I am trying to duplicate is from a restaurant and is made with an absolutely scrumptious white sauce. Thank you!
Also, a better tip is to use a sharp knife.
Or just use a sharp knife and you don‘t have to freeze the meat
Just made this. Finally found a recipe that tastes like restaurant. The meat was so soft.
This is among the best instructions I have seen on CZcams. If you need flat rice noodles, it becomes the household dish 干炒牛河 (stir fry beef with rice noodles). Add scallions if you wish.
Thank you so much for the high praise! I'm thrilled to hear that you found the instructions clear and helpful. The idea of transforming this into 干炒牛河 by adding flat rice noodles and scallions sounds absolutely delicious and is a fantastic tip for those looking to vary the dish. I appreciate your suggestion and am glad you're finding ways to adapt the recipe to your taste. Keep experimenting and happy cooking!
@@SamEasyTastyDishes if you can show with flat white noodles that will be awesome.

Yummy!! Think I'll throw in some thinly sliced red capsicum strips with the onion and aromatics then garnish with spring onions cut in to 1 inch lengths....these two extra ingredients are mainly for added colour.
Nicely done 😊Cheers.

I enjoyed the videoIs the oil you cover the meat with a peanut out of olive oil or vegetable oil? Is that oil different to that which you cook in? Thanks again for the recipe.
Thrilled you enjoyed the video! For covering the meat, I used peanut oil primarily because its smoke point is higher than that of many other oils, making it ideal for high-heat cooking methods like stir-frying and frying. On the other hand, olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, has a lower smoke point and is generally not suitable for high-heat cooking, including frying, as the heat can degrade its nutritional value and lead to unpleasant flavors. When it comes to stir-frying, I opt for canola oil due to its suitability for high temperatures and its ability to add a unique flavor. Hope this clears things up for you. Thanks again for your support and question!
I think rice vinegar will work just fine instead of wine, for people who don't use it?
Ty im new to cooking😊
I'm so glad you found the video helpful. If you have any questions or need further tips, feel free to ask. Happy cooking! 😊
Poor pan took a beating.
Good receipe with a side of steamed rice.

Hello chef ❤ . Now it is a beautiful day in the neighborhood with the stir fry in my belly & smell all over in bedroom can make me hungry when I wake up then to go work happy & wonderful 🙋🙏🌺🎉🤗🤠🤑

I'm saving this recipe for later! I found some reduced sodium oyster sauce and Soy sauce in my local Asian market and this looks SO YUMMY! I'm a cardiac patient so all that would be omitted would be the salt/sodium. I'm already thinking green beans, broccoli, peas, etc.
I'm so glad to hear you're excited about trying this recipe and that you've found reduced-sodium alternatives for the oyster and soy sauces! Adapting recipes to suit your dietary needs, especially for heart health, is incredibly important, and I'm happy to see you doing just that. Your idea of adding green beans, broccoli, and peas sounds delicious and will definitely add a wonderful variety of textures and flavors, as well as some lovely color to the dish.Take care and enjoy your cooking!
Some ingredients were added to the oyster sauce that wasn’t needed and also the meat. It’s a simple dish no need to complicate it.
I love your cooking Sam. I am starting a cooking channel myself. I hope I do as well as you.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It's fantastic to hear that you're inspired to start your own cooking channel. Wishing you all the best on your culinary adventure!
Tnxmuch for sharing 😂
So glad you enjoyed it and found it worth sharing!
👍
Thank you very much!
Makes total sense to me. What I use to do: I marinate the slices of onion in light soy sauce (some rinse raw onions in water). It takes away the sharp edge to a degree. Does anyone else do that? I'm german. I just recognized that at some restaurants the slices had a brown-ish edge that wasn't the result of burning them. It rather seems that the soy sauce prevented burning them, when your wok is piping hot (like chef Ken Hom teaches us).
Thank you for sharing your unique approach to marinating onion slices in light soy sauce!
This dish looks good, i feel that you should double the amount of onions.
In my experience, if you're doing the 'velveting' process you don't really need the baking soda. Just take care to shallow/deep fry for a short time. Keep in mind 'carry over cooking' .
In the written recipe, the egg white is missing. I almost skipped it.
Hi Sam,Can the beef change to chicken?> coz im not allowed anymore to eat beef ,only chicken
Hi there! Absolutely, you can definitely substitute chicken for beef in this recipe. Chicken is a versatile protein that adapts well to a variety of flavors and cooking methods. You might want to adjust cooking times slightly, as chicken can cook faster than beef, especially if you're using tender cuts like chicken breast. Feel free to share how it turns out, and if you have any other questions or need further adjustments, I'm here to help. Enjoy your cooking!
Watching from Germany and wanting to make this delicious looking dish, too. But…what exactly is cooking wine? What’s the difference between white wine that one drinks and wine used for cooking? I mean, can’t I just use the same wine I drink at the table?
It's wonderful to hear that you're interested in this dish! The 'cooking wine' you mentioned refers to a type of Chinese cooking wine, which is commonly made from rice wine and various spices, used to enhance the aroma of dishes and remove any unwanted gamey flavors. Compared to Western cooking wines, Chinese cooking wine has a unique fragrance that contributes a distinct flavor to dishes. Of course, if you don't have Chinese cooking wine, you can substitute it with any table wine you prefer, although the taste may vary slightly, but it will still make for a delicious dish. I hope everything goes smoothly when you try making this dish, and feel free to ask if you have any questions. Happy cooking!
@@SamEasyTastyDishes How very kind and nice of you to take the time to explain the meaning of cooking wine to me! So appreciated! I will look for Chinese cooking wine at my favorite Asia shop in Munich which is a huge supermarket and carries the most unusual things. Thanks again for being so helpful. Kind regards, Carmen

Could olive oil be used instead of standard cooking oil???
I prefer peanut oil for its high smoke point, making it great for high-heat cooking like stir-frying. Olive oil, especially extra virgin, has a lower smoke point, so it's not the best choice for high heat as it can lose its flavor and nutrition. For stir-frying, canola oil is also a good option because it handles high temperatures well and adds a nice flavor. Hope this helps, and thanks for your question!
Sam, what happens if you do not add the baking soda please?
If you don't use baking soda, the beef might not be as tender. Baking soda works by neutralizing the acids in the meat, making it softer. However, if you choose a tender cut of beef, following the other slicing and marinating steps can still ensure a great texture. Give it a try; you might discover the texture you prefer! It's all about experimenting and finding what works best for you.
@@SamEasyTastyDishes Thank you!
Do you throw away all that oil after frying the beef?
No, I don’t throw away the oil after frying the beef. I recommend using it to stir-fry vegetables or other ingredients in the same dish to add more flavor.
Can you substitute the wine with something else ?
Great question! You can definitely use sherry as a substitute for the cooking wine in this recipe. It adds a similar richness and depth to the dish. If you don't have cooking wine or sherry on hand, it's also fine to skip it altogether.
Is cooking wine the one that smells like sherry?
Yes, the cooking wine used in Chinese cuisine is often compared to sherry due to its similar flavor profile. It’s called Shaoxing wine, and it adds a rich aroma and depth to dishes like the beef in oyster sauce. If you can't find Shaoxing wine, dry sherry is a good substitute in most Chinese recipes.
😋😃💕👍👍😁
😄🎈🌟 Thanks for the positive vibes! So glad you stopped by! Keep smiling and stay awesome! 🌈✨
This is a great recipe but I must offer a clarification of "velveting"...it is not searing, as you described, nor when you put the beef in the oil/pan. Velveting is when you add the egg white, baking soda, and cornstarch. If you had prefaced that part of your video with "velveting", you would have been accurate. But the recipe you show is still a good and delicious recipe.
Китайское блюдо , адаптировано для человека у которого нет вока и навыков китайского повара ! Прекрасно !
Tenderloin? Is that the same as what we in the UK call fillet steak?
Exactly right! Tenderloin in the US is indeed what's known as fillet steak in the UK. It's known for its tenderness and is a fantastic choice for recipes like Beef in Oyster Sauce.
@SamEasyTastyDishes Thanks for info ,much appreciated. I've got some tenderloin/ fillet in my freezer and was looking for ideas how to use it ,your recipe looks perfect. My elderly mother loves beef and onion stir fry so I'm going to try to cook your recipe for her ,I think she'd love it . Thanks for the inspiration.
Gracias por el 50% del lomo saltado peruano..!
que no es chino?
Add peppers and you have beef pepper steak. That's all for beef pepper steak and onions.
oil should be on high heat before putting in onion garlic and ginger , you must hear the sizzle . after onions turn soft add in beef so you wont over cook the beef .
Thank you for sharing your cooking tips! I appreciate your detailed advice and am sure it will help other viewers as well. Keep the great suggestions coming, and happy cooking!
