Technique to learn

High-Heat Stir-Frying

Cooking rapidly in small batches over intense heat seals in juices and creates smoky wok flavor while preserving vegetable crunch.

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and half of the crushed black pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Whisk together remaining soy sauce, halal oyster sauce, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of warm water in a small cup.

Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking.

Step 4: Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear without moving for 1 minute. Stir-fry for 1 additional minute until browned, then transfer beef to a plate.

Step 5: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok, then add minced garlic and bell peppers. Cook over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes until garlic is golden.

Step 6: Return beef to the wok, pour in the sauce mixture and remaining black pepper. Toss continuously for 1 minute until the sauce coats everything in a glossy glaze, then serve hot.

Cooking tips

Cutting beef against the grain cuts through muscle fibers, producing maximum tenderness in quick stir-fries.
Ensure the skillet is thoroughly hot before adding beef so it sears rather than steams.
