Pro Tips
Cut Against the Grain: For the most tender beef, slice thinly against the muscle fibers.
No Wok? No Problem! A large skillet works beautifully—just make sure it’s hot before the beef hits the pan.
Cornflour Lumps? If you are finding that the cornflour doesn’t fully dissolve, before adding, mix in some water to make a liquid slurry.
