Stir-fry for Fast and Easy All-in-One Meals

Use a wok or skillet to quickly cook thin strips of beef in little bit of oil, add some sauce and vegetables and other ingredients – and you have a hot one-dish meal on the table in minutes.

3 Easy Steps to Stir-Frying

Step 1: Cut into thin, uniform beef strips or pieces so they cook in the same amount of time. For easier slicing, partially freeze beef (about 30 seconds). Marinate beef to add flavor or tenderize, if desired, while preparing other ingredients.

Step 2: Heat small amount of oil in wok or large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 3: Stir-fry beef in half-pound batches (do not overcrowd), continuously turning with a scooping motion, until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. Add additional oil for each batch, if necessary.

Cook beef and vegetables separately, then combine and heat through. The cooking liquid may be thickened with cornstarch dissolved in water, if desired.
