Preparation
Chef’s notes
The best beef cuts for stir fry are tender and lean, like Flank Steak, Top Sirloin Steak, Top Round Steak, or Tri-Tip Steak.
For a thinner sauce, add 2 Tbsp water at the end.
This recipe reheats well, making it perfect for meal prep and to-go lunches.
Use a sharp knife to cut super thin slices against the grain for tender beef.
Don't overcrowd the pan or it will steam cook instead of sear.
