Although oyster mushrooms have nothing to do with the dried oysters used to make oyster sauce, they are a lovely addition to the classic beef in oyster sauce. For extra spice, add a pinch or more of cayenne pepper to the beef marinade or increase the hot peppers. Green or red finger chilies are traditionally used in China, but jalape?are very nice, too.
Ingredients
- 1 lb top sirloin grilling steaks or flank marinating steaks

Preparation
Thinly slice beef across the grain into 3-inch (8 cm) long strips. In bowl, toss together beef, cornstarch, soy sauce, egg yolk, garlic, 1 tsp (5 mL) of the sesame oil, ginger, pepper, cloves, cinnamon and cayenne; let stand for 20 minutes.
