I want a beef dish in a light but rich sauce to be served with sticky rice.
Gingery, beefy, with oyster mushrooms and some green stuff (sugar snaps or something?) - what recipe do I need to look for?!
Ramen is too watery/wet/too much liquid, I want something more reduced.
What do I need to type in for this kind of recipe?! I’m a terribly un creative cook, I can follow a recipe just fine but I don’t know what recipe to follow 😂
please help!!
also sorry if adds a gif to my post, I accidentally pressed the stupid gif button instead of post and it won’t go away 😭

Beef, green pepper and black bean sauce.

Hmm I’m not sure, i don’t like black bean sauce. I’ll have a look at the recipe and see if there are other suggestions on the website - thanks both!

Something Thai?

SoScarletItWas · 02/03/2025 18:28

I would make this

BBC Good Food Braised Beef with Ginger

and just chuck some oyster mushrooms and sugar snap peas or bok choi in it.

My favourite is beef strips, soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger. Sweet and sticky beef. I do it with strips of peppers but could use any veg!

PersephoneSmith · 02/03/2025 18:43

Beef with ginger and spring onion, a staple of Chinese restaurant menus.

TheChosenTwo · 02/03/2025 18:45

Oh yes lots of good options here, thank you so much.
I’m about to start a thread on another cooking conundrum, feel free to follow me over there to further advise 😂
I know people probably use AI for this sort of stuff but I prefer actual humans!

You want beef Pad Kra Pao / Krapow/ Gra prow

I highly recommend getting a bottle of Ketjap Manis if you like that sticky soy/ginger taste - I get mine from M&S but I think sainburys do it too. Sainsburys tends to be a good place to get the Thai basil from as well in the fresh herbs.

I do a version of the above recipe based on a Thai street food vendor that I come across occassionslly at local events. Theirs is far superior to what I can produce but I get a little closer each time.

I bought some ketjap manis last week in anticipation!
thanks; I’m about to whip up some kind of concoction… wish me luck 🍀
