Notes
Cut the beef into small cubes so it cooks faster and stays tender. Fry the beef until the liquid dries well before removing it from the skillet, as this helps concentrate the flavor. The vegetables can remain slightly crisp for better texture. Dissolve the cornstarch completely in the water before adding it to prevent lumps in the sauce. Serve with white rice, brown rice or simple noodles.
