Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or top sirloin steak are all good options for stir-fry. Be sure to slice the beef thinly against the grain.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet, or the beef will steam instead of sear.
- Add the vegetables last: Add the vegetables to the wok or skillet towards the end of cooking, so that they remain crisp.
- Use a sauce or gravy: A sauce or gravy will help to add flavor and moisture to the stir-fry.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Beef stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and healthy beef stir-fry that your whole family will enjoy.
