 How to make beef and green bean stir fry

Step 1. After washing, we dry the beef with paper towels. Cut into thin, no more than 10 mm dice. Try to cut across the meat fibers.

Step 2. Heat the oil. Put the meat in one layer. Fry, stirring, for no more than 2 minutes. When the beef becomes light, and the juice from it has just begun to stand out, we put it in a bowl and cover it.

Recommendations for beef bean stir fry

Do not overcook beef: in 1.5-2 minutes hot oil thin bars of meat are cooked. They are ready, soft and juicy. If you fry it further, the meat will begin to lose juice; it will become hard. In this case you have to stew it for a long time until the meat becomes tender.

It is also important not to fry a lot of beef simultaneously. The oil in the pan immediately loses temperature. The meat does not fry quickly, but begins to leave the juice and harden.
