  • Now, add the seared beef strips back into the pan, stir to combine. Lastly, add the stir fry sauce and stir to combine. At this point, if the sauce is not thick to your liking, make a slurry with ½ tbsp of cornflour and 2 tbsp of water and add it to the sauce. Stir to combine so that the sauce coats the beef and veggies well. Serve immediately with some steamed rice. Enjoy

Notes

  • It is important to prep the ingredients ahead of time. Because you move quickly from start to finish, you want to make sure you have all ingredients handy otherwise you risk burning your dinner.
  • To get the perfect meat slices for the stir fry. Remove any visible white membrane and cut the beef across the grain lengthwise thinly.
