💡 Pro Tips for Success
- Slice it Right: Always slice your steak against the grain to ensure every bite is tender and easy to chew.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Fry the beef in batches. If the pan is too full, the meat will steam instead of getting that beautiful brown sear.
- Cold Veggies: Use fresh vegetables for the best crunch. If using frozen peas, thaw and pat them dry before adding to the skillet.
- High Heat: Stir-frying is all about high heat and fast movement. Keep those veggies moving!
