This beef stir-fry is infused with oyster sauce and plum sauce so it’s got a great sticky sweet, yet savoury and zingy flavour. The garlic rice also soaks up the remaining glaze while the sesame seeds add an unmistakeable pop.

1

20 g

1.5 cup
water
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 basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, combine the oyster sauce, plum sauce and a splash of water in a small bowl. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice the red onion. Drain the baby corn spears (see ingredients).
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the carrot, onion and baby corn until tender, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
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. Return all the beef to the pan along with the veggies.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
Remove the pan from the heat, then stir through the oyster-plum mixture until combined. Season to taste.
Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the sticky Chinese beef and veggie stir-fry. Spoon over any remaining sauce from the pan. Garnish with the black sesame seeds to serve.
