No, I have no idea what the name means either, my only inkling was that it might be something to do with the speed of the cooking, the beef is still “moo-ing” when it’s done.
Being on a diet, you never quite get used to the deeply pitying stares of your colleagues, especially when it really has been an education for my senses! I’ve never really been a fan of ginger before this diet but now my tastebuds positively dance when they see fresh ginger in a recipe. I find it amazing how refreshing and punchy fresh ginger is, and yet dried ginger lends itself so well to sweetness. It really is a versatile ingredient and I’ve started making sure we always have fresh ginger in the house now.
400g lean beef, cut into 1cm cubes
2 tabs soy sauce
1 tab oyster sauce
4cm piece of ginger, grated
black pepper
4 garlic cloves, grated
a few coriander leaves to garnish
Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce and ginger and marinate beef in it for 30 minutes. Heat up a wok and fry the garlic, when it is just beginning to brown throw in the beef and stir over high heat until it is sealed on all sides.
Serve with a sprinkle of coriander.*
*Okay, because the diet is no-carb I don’t say “and rice or noodles” but obviously it would be perfectly natural for you to do so.
