Beef Pepper Rice

Ingredients

• 1 whole head of garlic, minced
• 1 kg ground beef
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (for the beef)
• Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp salted butter
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce (for the gravy)
• Mushrooms, sliced
• Toasted garlic, to top

Directions

• Toast the minced garlic in a dry pan until golden to your liking, then set aside (this is your toasted garlic topping).
• In the same pan, add the ground beef. Once it hits the pan, leave it undisturbed to sear. Season with oyster sauce and pepper, then stir and mix through. Set the beef aside.
• In the same pan, melt the salted butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until lightly browned.
• Add the water and mix quickly to form a gravy. Stir in the oyster sauce and pepper, adjusting to taste.
• Add the mushrooms, the cooked beef, and the toasted garlic. Mix until everything is coated and combined.
• Serve over hot rice. Done in under 25 minutes.
