Ingredients
1 lb (454g) Beef Strips (sirloin or flank)
2 cups (250g) Fresh Green Beans (trimmed)
1 tbsp (15ml) Soy Sauce (low-sodium)
1 tsp (5g) Fresh Ginger (minced)
1 tbsp (15ml) Avocado or Grapeseed Oil
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin, uniform strips to ensure quick cooking.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Add the beef in a single layer and sear until deeply browned on all sides; remove and set aside.
In the same hot pan, add the green beans, stirring constantly to maintain their vibrant color and crunch.
Return the beef to the pan and toss in the ginger and soy sauce.
Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is well-coated and fragrant, then serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the beef is sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this causes the beef to steam rather than sear. Serve over steamed jasmine rice or rice noodles for a complete meal.
