Tips & Substitutions
For best results, marinate your steak for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor. If you don’t have mixed vegetables on hand, fresh stir-fry melange or any combination of your favorite vegetables will work well. Consider using a high smoke point oil like canola or peanut oil for frying. Adding a splash of sesame oil at the end can enhance the dish’s flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This stir fry pairs beautifully with rice or noodles, making it a versatile dish for any meal. Serve alongside a fresh salad, like Aunt Will's Chinese Salad, for a refreshing contrast. For a complete dinner, consider offering spring rolls or a light soup as a starter.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover stir-fry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking. Avoid microwaving as it can make the steak tough.
