Name: Beef with mushrooms and sesame
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 60 ml (¼ cup) grapeseed oil; 2 sirloin (porterhouse) steaks (200gm each), trimmed of fat, thinly sliced; 250 gm assorted Asian mushrooms, such as enoki, shiitake, oyster and black fungi; 2 garlic cloves, crushed; 50 gm (10cm piece) ginger, pounded with a mortar and pestle; 60 ml (¼ cup) Shaoxing wine; 60 ml (¼ cup) light soy sauce; 2 tbsp oyster sauce; Pinch of caster sugar; 1 tsp sesame oil; 2 spring onions, thinly sliced; To serve: roasted sesame seeds and steamed jasmine rice

This stir-fry is a great way to turn two steaks into a meal for four. Any selection of mushrooms will do, although the shiitakes give the dish a gutsier flavour hit.
