Cheesy Beef and Mushroom

Although my daughter Ashrie is not a beef fan, my husband loves beef dishes. Here’s an easy beef and mushroom recipe with a twist. I added cheese for a creamier and tastier dish.


Ingredients:
1/2 kg sliced beef
1 small pack of snow peas
1 pack fresh mushroom
1 small can of all-purpose cream
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, minced
2 tbsp oyster sauce
150 g cheese, grated
salt and pepper to taste
cooking oil for sautéing

Procedure:
1. Heat the cooking oil in a skillet and sauté garlic and onion.
2. Add the sliced beef and fry until golden brown.
3. Add in the mushrooms. Stir in the oyster sauce.
4. Pour in the all-purpose cream and let it simmer.
5. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Top with grated cheese.

Serve warm with steamed white rice.

Enjoy!

Mixed Vegetables in Cream Sauce

I always have a pack or two of frozen mixed vegetables in the fridge. It’s an easy add-on for several quick dishes and a great side dish for steaks or even fried chicken, hotdogs and sausages. Speaking of sausages, here is a breakfast suggestion using mixed veggies, sausages and egg.


Ingredients:
6 pcs Japanese chicken sausages, sliced diagonally
1 pack of frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, and peas)
1 hardboiled egg (optional)
1 cup all-purpose cream
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for sautéing

Procedure:
1. Sauté onions and garlic in a skillet of hot oil.
2. In the same pan, fry the sausages then stir in the mixed vegetables.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add the all-purpose cream. Let it simmer until the veggies are half done.
5. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Add the eggs for garnish.

Serve warm with hot steamed rice. Enjoy!

Cheers!
