Tips:

  • To ensure your beef is tender and juicy, opt for flank steak or skirt steak. These cuts are known for their excellent flavor and tenderness when cooked quickly over high heat.
  • Always slice your beef against the grain. This will help break down the muscle fibers and make the beef more tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking your beef. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly and will result in tough, chewy meat.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or frying pan instead. Just make sure it's big enough to accommodate all of the ingredients without overcrowding.
  • To get the best flavor from your vegetables, cook them over high heat until they are tender-crisp.
  • Don't forget the sauce! The sauce is what brings all the flavors of the dish together. Make sure to simmer it for a few minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Serve your Mandarin beef stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
