Notes
Best beef cuts: Flank, sirloin, or ribeye work best—slice against the grain for tenderness. Marinade tip: Even 15 minutes makes a difference, but 30–60 minutes adds deeper flavor and softer texture. Don’t overcrowd the pan: Stir-fry the beef in batches if needed. Add more veggies: Bell peppers and onions are classic, but mushrooms or snap peas are great add-ins too.
