    Tips for making this recipe

    Use a large pan: If you use a too small pan, it will be challenging to toss all the ingredients together, and your vegetables and meat will cook slower than if you were stir-frying them on a larger one.

    Store leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    Tenderize beef strips: You can make your beef strips more tender before starting with this recipe by adding a bit of baking soda, mixing, waiting for 30 minutes, rinsing with water, and continuing with your stir fry recipe.
