Questions about Beef stir fry
How do you stop beef stir fry from turning tough?
Slice the beef thinly across the grain and cook it in a very hot pan in small batches, so it sears rather than stews. Take it out as soon as it is browned, then return it to the pan briefly with the vegetables and sauce.
What cut of beef is best for stir fry?
Sirloin, rump and flank steak all work well when sliced thinly across the grain. For a quick marinade, toss the strips with a little soy sauce and cornflour for 10–15 minutes; the coating helps the meat brown and gives the sauce a glossy finish.
How long should you cook beef stir fry?
In a very hot wok or frying pan, thin strips usually need about 2–3 minutes in total, cooked in batches. Add them back only at the end, for a minute or so, to warm through without overcooking.
What vegetables go well in beef stir fry?
Broccoli, peppers, carrots, mushrooms and pak choi are reliable choices. Cut them into similarly sized pieces; add firm vegetables first and leafy greens last, so everything stays crisp-tender.
What do you serve with beef stir fry?
Serve it with steamed rice or noodles, and finish with spring onions, sesame seeds or fresh coriander. For a noodle dish, toss the cooked noodles through the pan with the beef and sauce just before serving.
Can you freeze beef stir fry?
Yes. Cool it promptly, freeze it in a sealed container, and use it within about three months for best quality. Defrost it in the fridge and reheat until piping hot, stirring so the beef and vegetables heat evenly.
How is beef stir fry different from beef and broccoli stir fry?
Beef and broccoli stir fry makes broccoli a defining ingredient, while a general beef stir fry can use many vegetables. The listed beef and broccoli version has more protein per 100 g: 10.6 g, compared with 6.5 g in beef stir fry.
Is beef stir fry high in vitamin C?
It is a source of vitamin C: a 100 g portion provides 28.9 mg. The amount comes largely from the vegetables, and quick cooking helps them retain their colour and crispness.
