Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless ribeye steak
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons maggi seasoning sauce
  • 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large red onion, sliced

How To Make shaken beef

  • Step 1
    Cut the ribeye steak in to bite sized cubes, about 1 inch. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the canola oil and the cornstarch, salt, pepper and oyster sauce. Add the beef and toss to make sure all the pieces are well-coated. Set aside for 30 minutes, covered.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, combine the wine, Maggi and Worcestershire sauces, and sugar. Set aside, covered.
  • Step 3
    Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat until very hot. Then reduce the heat to medium and add HALF the steak. Sear for 3 minutes on one side, then stir and sear for an additional minute for medium rare. Add half the minced garlic and shake the pan for half a minute. Then add 2 tablespoons of the wine sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, shaking the pan the whole time. Scoop the meat into a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining steak. You will NOT use all the garlic sauce. Scoop the 2nd half into the serving dish. Don't attempt to cook all the meat at once, as it will overcrowd the pan and you'll not have good results!
  • Step 4
    In the same wok, return to medium heat and add the sliced onion. Saute for a few minutes until the onion is soft. Spoon over the meat. Serve hot. This is nice served with some ripe tomato wedges.
