Scallion Beef Stir-Fry

Steps

How to make it

Prep 15 min · Cook 6 min

1. Slice the beef against the grain into even strips. Mix with a little soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch; marinate about 10 minutes. Cut scallions into sections; keep white and green parts separate.
2. Heat a skillet over high heat with oil. Sauté the scallion whites about 20 seconds until fragrant.
3. Lay the marinated beef in the hot pan in one layer; let it sear about 30 seconds to set the surface, then stir-fry over high heat until mostly colored (70–80% done). Remove to a plate so it does not overcook.
4. In the same pan, toss the scallion greens over high heat 20–30 seconds until aromatic. Return the beef, toss quickly, and finish with a splash of soy sauce along the pan edge. Serve immediately.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

• Keep the heat high and moves quick—the beef stays juicier.
• If short on time, marinate 5 minutes; texture will be slightly less tender.

Best right off the wok; reheat later with a fast, high-heat toss—do not simmer.
