COOKING TIME

TIPS

  • Use High Heat: Stir-frying works best when the pan is very hot, ensuring quick cooking and maximum flavour.
  • Slice Beef Thinly: Thin slices allow the meat to cook evenly and absorb seasonings better.
  • Control The Spice: Adjust the chilli flakes to suit your heat tolerance. You can also add a splash of honey for a sweet-spicy balance.
  • Keep Ingredients Moving: Stir-frying requires constant motion to prevent burning and ensure everything cooks evenly.
  • Enhance The Flavour: A small dash of sesame oil at the end adds a rich, nutty aroma.

VARIATIONS

  • Vegetarian Alternative: Replace beef with tofu, tempeh or seitan for a plant-based option.
  • More Vegetables: Add broccoli, carrots, snow peas or mushrooms for extra nutrients and variety.
  • Different Proteins: Swap beef for chicken, shrimp or turkey for a different flavour profile.
  • Sauce Options: Experiment with hoisin sauce, oyster sauce or a splash of rice vinegar for extra depth.
  • Low-Carb Version: Serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead of regular rice or noodles.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat for the best texture.
  • Freezing: Cooked beef can be frozen separately in a sealed container for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-slice the beef and vegetables and store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge for quick cooking.
