Need me I'll grant you. The steak will black mushroom. But first we'll find out how many different types of mushroom available on the market today. Here we have the Oyster Mushroom the regular Oyster Mushroom you can find fresh the regular button mushroom white button mushroom the brown button mushroom and straw mushroom looks like a little baby here and then this is Japanese style. Almost a mushroom. Not easy to find and this is a must shoot Tucky mushroom a Japanese style mushroom grown in car auto and then we have she talk a mushroom.

and this is the shredded Julian wood year old tree ear and this is white fungus. Also call snow fungus. You can put in soup and the search and this is the tree and this is the regular dry white button mushroom. So all of these I'm going to use a black mushroom in my next dish and this particular dish I'll call it going to stick with black mushroom and instead of using the dry one OK. And soak it for half an hour. I'm going to use the fresh one to make the sauce OK. See this is how it looks. Looks like a little you can grow it. You cut the stem off and you set it aside. What are you going to do. I really don't care. OK. When you cut it out. One two three four five six seven eight seven a side. Right here. OK.
Put it aside. OK. You can cut the believe you can cut the mushroom ahead of time. But normally I would cut the Beaverhead down because this way you can marinate it. I'm going to marinate the beef with approximately one teaspoon or one tablespoon of mince ginger. OK chop the ginger up about one half a teaspoon of black pepper and a tiny bit about two tables boon two three tables one of dry sherry.

You cooked our beef steak of our two three minutes on one side depends on whether you like medium rare or medium and then you put the sauce.
