Notes

Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.

Use a hot pan for best sear and flavor.

Avoid overcrowding; cook proteins separately to keep them juicy.

Add oyster sauce or hoisin for a saucier stir fry.

Works with sirloin, skirt steak, or extra veggies like mushrooms and snap peas.
