    A low syn version of one of my favourite Chinese dishes - Beef with Mushrooms in Oyster sauce

    I love Chinese food, so coming up with my own low syn versions of some of my favourite choices helps me to stay on plan, as whenever the craving sets in for Chinese food, I have various options to recreate in my own home.

    Being able to create your favourite foods in your own home, is important for remaining successful on your weight loss journey. If you feel deprived or that certain foods are off limits, the chances are you won't be able to stick to it long term.

    Search for ways you can create the foods you love in a Slimming World friendly way, you might not be able to create an exact version, but with switching out some not so great ingredients for healthier choices, most meals can be adapted.

    Chinese Food is a weakness for me, I was introduced to it young because of my father's trade designing wok cookers for Chinese restaurants or takeaways, it meant we frequently ate Chinese food, either at a local restaurant or from takeaways brought home.

    Beef with Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce is a dish we would frequently order from the local Chinese along with with the usual egg fried rice and is a firm favourite, so this was a definite one for making Slimming World friendly.

    I cook this dish in my non-stick wok as you can cook this perfectly without the need for lots of oil, but a non-stick frying pan will work perfectly too.

    For the sauce I use just water with the other ingredients, instead of stock, otherwise, it can become too salty. There is plenty of flavour from the other ingredients in the sauce and the last thing you want is not to be able to taste those flavours.

    HOW CAN I ADD A ⅓ SPEED FOODS TO THE BEEF AND MUSHROOMS IN OYSTER SAUCE?

    Mushrooms are a speed food, and there are plenty of those in this dish that will count towards your ⅓ speed foods. But some additional stir fried veg of choice (I love bean sprouts) would be a great addition. You could also replace the rice with some Cauliflower Rice

    If you want a real authentic fakeaway dish, try serving this Beef and Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce with this delicious egg fried rice

    There are also some amazing Chinese dishes, to browse through in my Chinese Fakeaway section.

    You can make this Beef and Mushroom in Oyster Sauce gluten free by using Tamari (a gluten-free soy sauce) and some gluten free Oyster Sauce

      I have made this in the past and loved it. I did use fillet steak then but would like to make it again with a cheaper cut of meat but don't want it to be chewy - just wondering what cuts you would recommend?

    3. Kelly Dawnay says

      January 27, 2019 at 8:10 am

      Can I use sugar instead of sukrin? I'm in the UK and not sure we have it.

      Made this tonight & it was absolutely gorgeous even my fussy son ate it minus the mushrooms! I only got to marinadenit for a few hours as I looked recipe up at 4pm! I used sirloin steak in it, I wouldn’t use a cheaper cut as it would ruin a beautiful dish! Love your recipes! I served with salt n chilli chips eg fried rice and syns for some prawn crackers

    5. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      February 06, 2019 at 10:28 pm

      yes, you can, you will just need to syn it, or you can use a sweetener of your choice. Sukrin can be bought from Holland and Barrett I believe or through Amazon. https://amzn.to/2Gf4d0s

    6. Margaret Cockburn says

      February 12, 2019 at 3:20 pm

      Thank you for this recipe! I could not believe how tasty it was for so little ingredients. I used sirloin as I don’t like chewy beef and it was just gorgeous even my son ate it and he doesn’t like new things!

      February 23, 2019 at 10:57 pm

      I've never tried oyster sauce before, I love the sound dog this dish though. Is the oyster sauce quite a fishy taste?

    8. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      February 25, 2019 at 11:34 am

      Hi Hannah, no it doesn't taste fishy at all, if you love Chinese food, you will love this dish. Enjoy!!

      Where can I get Cornstarch from or is it the same as Cornflour

    11. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      October 10, 2019 at 7:23 am

      yes they are the same thing 🙂

    12. Karin says

      March 17, 2020 at 12:14 pm

      Can I use chicken stock instead of water

    13. Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says

      March 29, 2020 at 12:41 pm

      stock would probably make this quite salty tasting. I use water because soy sauce etc is already high in sodium.

    14. Cathryn says

      June 10, 2020 at 1:49 am

      What Beef cut would you recommend?

    15. Dawn says

      June 11, 2020 at 3:15 pm

      Hi is it 3 quarters of a tablespoon of sweetener or 3 to 4 tablespoons pls?

    16. Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says

      June 11, 2020 at 8:58 pm

      3/4 is 3 quarters of a tablespoon. Enjoy!!

    17. Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says

      June 17, 2020 at 4:04 pm

      I use sirloin steak sliced into strips or stir fry beef strips.

    18. Cathryn Short says

      August 05, 2020 at 4:28 am

      Can this be done in the slow cooker?

    19. Laura says

      August 11, 2020 at 4:07 pm

      Hi I was wondering how long this keeps for? Can it be done as a meal prep and hold up being reheated?

    20. Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says

      August 14, 2020 at 10:32 am

      yes it's fine to reheat, I often have leftovers the next day.

    21. Kim says

      January 06, 2021 at 3:29 am

      Can you freeze this?

    22. Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says

      January 06, 2021 at 3:50 pm
