- Cut evenly: Slice the beef into thin slices or strips and the broccoli into small pieces to ensure even heating of the ingredients during cooking and a more balanced cooking time.
- Control the heat: During stir-frying, keep the heat on medium-high and stir-fry the beef and broccoli quickly to keep them tender and avoid overcooking.
- Add seasonings in moderation: You can add an appropriate amount of salt, pepper, soy sauce and other seasonings according to your personal taste, but don’t overdo it so as not to mask the original flavor of the ingredients.
- Pay attention to the cooking time: Beef and broccoli should be cooked for a moderate amount of time to maintain their tenderness and nutritional value. Stir-fry the beef until it is just cooked through and the broccoli until it is browned but still remains crisp and tender.
