Ingredients:

1/3 cup oyster sauce
72g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
1 lb beef
450g
1/3 cup peanut oil
72g
1 red onion
160g
1 red pepper
80g
3/4 cup green beans

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Mince the garlic cloves and ginger root.
- Thinly slice the beef, red onion, and red pepper.
- Trim and halve the green beans.
- Slice the mushrooms.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large wok or a heavy skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Beef:
- Add the thinly sliced beef to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is browned. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
4. Sauté Aromatics:
- In the same wok, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
5. Cook Vegetables:
- Add the sliced red onion and red pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes.

6. Combine & Season:
- Return the beef to the wok. Pour in the oyster sauce.
- Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Make sure the sauce evenly coats the beef and vegetables.
7. Serve:
- Serve the beef and bean stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles if desired.

Tips:

- Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking as stir-frying is a fast process.

- Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure it remains tender and cooks quickly.

- Use high heat for stir-frying to achieve a nice sear on the beef and vegetables.

- Keep stirring the ingredients continuously to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

- Feel free to substitute or add more vegetables such as snow peas, carrots, or broccoli for extra nutrition and variety.

This beef and bean stir-fry is a versatile dish that can be adapted with your favorite vegetables and served over rice or noodles. Enjoy this quick and tasty meal that's sure to be a hit with family and friends!
