Note

For best results, slice the beef against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.

Ensure your wok or skillet is very hot before adding the beef to achieve a good sear and prevent steaming.

You can substitute sirloin with flank steak or skirt steak for a different texture.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet.

For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha to the marinade.

Serve immediately over steamed rice or chow mein noodles for a complete meal.
