Ingredients
Beef in Oyster Sauce
A quick and elegant stir-fry that balances savoury oyster sauce with tender beef. This dish exemplifies the Chinese technique of high-heat cooking to seal flavours while keeping meat moist. Quality oyster sauce is essential, it should deepen the dish rather than dominate it.

Beef Nasi Goreng
Indonesia's national fried rice, traditionally a way to put yesterday's leftovers to work and now a fixture from street stalls to weeknight kitchens. Beef mince keeps the cooking time short, while kecap manis, soy, shrimp paste and a crumbled stock cube layer the savouriness from four directions. The trick is pressing the rice into the wok and leaving it alone long enough to pick up a proper char before tossing.

Gyudon
Thinly sliced beef simmered briefly in dashi with mirin, sake, soy and sugar, alongside sliced onion. The whole pile spooned over rice with the broth. Topped with pickled ginger and a soft-boiled egg if you like.
Japanese
Shredded Beef with Chillies
The essence of this recipe lies in knife technique: the beef must be cut into very thin strips for authentic texture and rapid cooking. A brief freeze makes slicing easier and more uniform. The result is a dish of tender, fragrant beef balanced with fresh ginger, crisp vegetables, and bold chilli heat.
Chinese
Sichuan Pepper Beef
This fast, easy, and delicious supper showcases how Chinese five-spice powder flavours an entire dish via a marinade approach. Overnight marination develops deep, complex flavours that distinguish this simple stir-fry from quickly-thrown-together meals. The combination of Sichuan pepper's numbing quality with five-spice complexity creates an unforgettable sauce.

Stir-Fried Beef in Oyster Sauce
On Thai menus this is often called ‘pad nam mun hoy’, which means fried with oyster sauce. There are many versions of Thai oyster sauce curries, but this beef version is right up there when it comes to popularity. Stir-fried beef in oyster sauce usually also comes served with mushrooms and my favourite variety for this recipe are straw mushrooms, but you could use any type you can find, wild mushrooms work really well. Serve with a hot bowl of jasmine rice.
Thai
Stir-Fried Beef with Ginger
This typically Cantonese dish is one of the quickest and tastiest ways to cook beef. The ginger adds a subtle and fragrant spiciness that enhances without overwhelming the tender beef. Freezing the beef before slicing is essential for uniform, thin strips that cook instantly.
Chinese
Stir-Fried Beef with Orange
This is a northern Chinese beef speciality that lends itself to using dried tangerine peel. The Chinese always use peel that has been dried, and the older the peel, the more prized the flavour. The combination creates a sophisticated, citrus-forward sauce that balances the richness of beef beautifully.
