Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked rice or frozen stir-fry vegetables.
  • If you don't have a wok, use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Be sure to heat the wok or skillet over high heat before adding the oil. This will help to prevent the beef from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet. Cook the beef in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry the beef until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center. Overcooked beef will be tough.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add the sauce and cook until it is heated through.
  • Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
