Sweet and spicy Asian beef stir-fry

Bonus tips:

• Prepare all the ingredients before cooking: Stir-frying happens quickly, so it’s essential to have all the ingredients chopped and ready to go before starting. This includes slicing the meat, chopping the vegetables, and mixing the sauce.
• Use high heat: Stir-frying is all about cooking quickly over high heat. Make sure your wok or frying pan is hot before adding the oil and ingredients. This will help to create the deliciously crispy texture and flavour that stir-fry is known for.
• Add vegetables in order of cooking time: Some vegetables, like onions and bell peppers, cook faster than others, like broccoli and carrots. To ensure all the vegetables are cooked to the desired level of tenderness, add them to the pan in order of cooking time, starting with the vegetables that take the longest to cook.
• Don’t overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables can become mushy and lose their vibrant colour and flavour. Be mindful of cooking times and aim to keep the vegetables crisp-tender.
• Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after cooking. Waiting too long can cause the vegetables to become soggy and the meat to dry out.
