Tips and Variations

• For a healthier option, you can use lean beef or substitute the beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
• You can add other vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or mushrooms to this stir fry recipe.
• For a spicier version, you can add red pepper flakes or chili paste to the sauce mixture.
• Make sure to slice the beef thinly so that it cooks quickly and evenly.
• Do not overcrowd the pan when stir frying the beef and vegetables as this will cause them to steam instead of fry.
• Use a high smoke point oil such as vegetable oil or canola oil for stir frying.
• Make sure to have all the ingredients prepped and ready to go before starting to stir fry as this cooking method requires quick and constant stirring.
