Instructions
Step 1. Place mushrooms in a heatproof bowl with boiling water. Stand for 15 minutes. Drain, but keep liquid. Halve mushrooms and remove stalks.
Step 2. Heat oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan on medium. Saute onions, garlic, turmeric and cinnamon sticks for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3. Add steak and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until beef has browned. Stir in coconut cream, 1/2 cup mushroom liquid, fish sauce and sugar.
