Three easy steps to stir-frying
Step 1:
Partially freeze beef for easier slicing. Cut into thin, uniform beef strips or pieces. Marinate 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.
