Follow these simple steps for a perfect beef or lamb stir fry every time.
STEP ONE:Cut meat across the grain (click here to see how) into strips of even thickness. Coat the meat in oil instead of adding oil to the pan / wok. |
STEP TWO:Ensure the pan / wok is hot before you begin to cook. It should be hot enough to evaporate a bead of water on contact. |
STEP THREE:Cook meat in small batches. If using a wok, work from the outer side to the centre, where it will be hottest. |
STEP FOUR:Set meat aside and return to the pan with sauces once the vegetables are cooked. |
