 Categories: Beef, Chinese
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1 lb Beef steak
    1/2 ts Salt
  3 1/2 tb Vegetable oil
      1 tb Soy sauce
      2 ts Cornstarch
      2 tb Water
      2 tb Sherry
      4 tb Beef stock
      2 sl Ginger root
  2 1/2 tb Oyster sauce
    3/4 ts Sugar
           Pepper -- to taste
 
  Cut the beef into small thin slices and rub these with the salt and
  1/2 tablespoon of oil.  Mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, water, sherry
  and stock in a bowl until well blended. Finely chop the ginger. Heat
  the oil in a frying pan. When hot add the beef, spreading the pieces
  out, and stir-fry them over a high heat for 1 minute. Add the ginger,
  followed by the oyster sauce and sugar, and continue to stir-fry for
  30 seconds. Pour in the sauce mixture from the bowl, and continue to
  stir-fry over a high heat for a further minute.  Serve immediately on
  a well-heated dish.
  
  This mixture of seafood flavor with meat is a common Cantonese
  practice which most southerners enjoy, but which is not always
  accepted in central and north China.
