Tips for Arab Beef and Vegetable Stir-Fry

  • Slice the beef evenly so it browns at a similar pace; overcrowding the pan can make it steam instead.
  • The vegetables are ready when the broccoli is bright green and the carrots still have a little bite.
  • Toast the bread cubes close to serving time so they stay crisp against the moist stir-fry.

Storage

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the beef is done?
The thin slices should be browned and no longer look raw in the center. Avoid cooking them much longer, as they can become tough.

Can I prepare any parts ahead?
You can slice the beef and vegetables and measure the spices ahead; keep them covered in the refrigerator and cook the dish shortly before serving.

What can I serve alongside it?
A simple cucumber and tomato salad or a spoonful of plain yogurt makes a fresh contrast to the warm, spiced stir-fry.
