Tasty Ground Beef & Celery Stir Fry
This is Chinese in origin and sounds just down right tasty, and quick to prepare. On my to cook list for sure! The only item uncommon in the ingredients, unless you do a lot of Asian cooking, would be the Shaoxing Rice Wine, available in the US in Asian markets and if all else fails, on Amazon.
Ingredients
- 250 grams ground beef, (1/2 lb)
- 2 cups celery, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and sliced
- 4 dried chilies, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons oyster sauce
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or non stick pan on medium heat, when hot, stir fry the beef until it starts to change color, about 2 minutes, then add the rice wine and stir fry for another minute. Remove the beef from the pan and set the beef aside.
- Same pan, add the other 1 tablespoon of oil, when hot, add the sliced garlic and chilies, stir fry until fragrant, about 1/2 a minute.
- Add the celery and season with the salt, as desired and saute for 5 minutes or until the celery is soft, then return the beef back to the pan and toss in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, stir fry for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve.
