Boil for about 30 seconds until the sauce thickens and is no longer cloudy. Return the vegetables to the wok, and toss with the sauce.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are all good choices for guy ding. These cuts are relatively thin and have a good amount of marbling, which will help to make the meat tender and flavorful.
Tenderize the beef: To make the beef even more tender, you can marinate it overnight in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger. You can also pound the beef with a meat mallet or use a fork to poke holes in it before cooking.
Cook the beef quickly over high heat: Guy ding is best cooked quickly over high heat. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the beef from becoming tough.
Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the beef from sticking and will also add flavor to the dish.
Add the vegetables at the end of cooking: The vegetables should be added to the wok at the end of cooking so that they remain crisp and tender.
Serve guy ding immediately: Guy ding is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the beef is tender and flavorful.
