<IngredientText>Beef with Bok Choy in Oyster Sauce. Here is another quick and delicious beef stirfry dish that is recommended for busy people who almost have no time to cook but still want to enjoy good home cooked meal. Cooking will take more or less 10 minutes excluding marinating time of about 10 to 15 minutes. Cooking is almost similar to my previous beef strifry recipes. The beef is first marinated with soy sauce and cornstarch before strifrying. Beef cooked fast and they tend to get rubbery when overcook. Bok choy have thick stalks therefore the stalks have to be sliced thinner and will be added first before the leafy portion. With the addition of oyster sauce you cannot go wrong, just watch the amount of oyster sauce as they some brands are salty. Here is the recipe of my Beef with Bok Choy in Oyster Sauce.
