Tips for Spicy Asian Beef Stir-Fry

  • For tender beef, slice across the grain; evenly thin pieces also help the short cooking time work.
  • A crowded pan can steam the ingredients and soften the vegetables; use a wide skillet or cook in batches.
  • The broccoli should stay bright green with a slight bite, while the beef is browned and no longer visibly raw.

Drink pairing

A crisp, off-dry Riesling
Its freshness and slight sweetness complement the chili and savory beef without overpowering the vegetables.

0% option: Chilled sparkling water with lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a sealed container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the beef is done?
The thin strips should be browned and no longer visibly raw; avoid prolonged cooking, which can make them tough.

Can I prepare any of this ahead?
Slice the beef and vegetables and mince the aromatics ahead, storing them separately in the refrigerator; stir-fry just before serving for the best texture.

What can I serve with this stir-fry?
Serve it on its own or with rice or noodles if you want a more substantial meal.
