Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the jasmine rice, water(for the rice) and the salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water has absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the carrot and courgette into half-moons. Roughly chop the Asian greens.
In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, water (for the sauce) and 1/2 the sesame oil blend (see ingredients).
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot and courgette until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add the remaining sesame oil blend, then season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the beef strips, in batches, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Add the oyster sauce mixture and cook until bubbling, 30 seconds. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the Chinese saucy beef and sesame veggies. Serve with the mayonnaise and garnish with the crispy shallots.
