Beef stir fry is incredibly easy and loaded with tender beef and crisp vegetables.
The best thing about stir fries is that they come together super quick, which makes it a perfect meal for those busy weeknights. Once you start making stir fries at home, you'll never feel the need to order take out again. Stir fries are super versatile, healthy and a great way to use up all those extra veggies in your fridge.
What is the best beef for stir fry? There are several cuts of beef that are great for stir frying. Good news is it doesn't have to break the bank. These are the most popular Sirloin, skirt steak, flank steak, and rib eye (which to me is the most tender) Whichever you choose its important to cut thin slices against the grain and cook in a fast hot wok or skillet.
