Beef, bok choy and oyster mushroom stir-fry

This is a great stir-fry with its tender cut of beef, crisp bok choy and savory hoisin sauce. Feel free to substitute boneless chicken breast or shrimp for the beef.

 

SAUCE
  • 1 cup chicken (or beef) stock
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 5 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic
  • 1 tsp finely chopped ginger
STIR-FRY
  • 12 oz grilling steak cut into i-inch cubes
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups chopped oyster mushrooms
  • 2 small baby bok choy, sliced (or 2 cups sliced)
  • 1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts
GARNISH
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cashews
  • 1 large green onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    1. To make the sauce, combine the stock, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth.
    2. Dust the steak pieces with flour. Lightly coat a large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sauté the steak for 3 minutes or just until browned. Do not cook through. Set aside and wipe the pan clean.
    3. Respray the pan and sauté the mushrooms for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the bok choy and sauté for 2 minutes or it begins to wilt. Add the sauce, water chestnuts and beef and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
    4. Place on a platter and garnish with cashews, green onions and cilantro.
