Frequently asked questions:
WHAT BEEF TO USE FOR STIR FRY?
My favorite cut is sirloin, although this cut is a bit expensive, I think it gives the best results. You also can use: top round, ribeye, top lion, tenderloin, flank steak and skirt.
WHAT VEGETABLES CAN WE ADD?
You can add almost ant vegetable to stir fry. Carrots, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, beans, peas, sweet potatoes and more. The most important thing is not put too much veggies. Choose 1-3 vegetables and put a bit from each.
