FAQs

How to make beef stir fry tender without baking soda? ›

Adding the par-cooked meat to a stir fry produces super tender meat. Place the meat in a bowl and add the marinade the wet marinade ingredients and the corn flour (corn starch). Mix it all up really well. You can let the meat marinate for as little as 30 minutes or overnight.

How to properly fry beef? ›

To achieve an optimal frying result, heat your pan to 180°C before adding your steaks. Only turn your steaks if they can be easily detached from the bottom of the pan, and test this with your spatula. Never use a fork to turn, as valuable meat juice will be lost when the steak is pierced.

Can I just fry diced beef? ›

To sauté your beef, toss the pieces in flour, salt, and pepper. Then, fry it in oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Once your beef is cooked through, fry it for another 2 minutes with more oil and a little garlic, and rosemary. You can also add a little red wine for more flavor.

Can I fry beef directly? ›

Pan-frying is a tried and true method for producing juicy and tender steaks, so any USDA Prime or Choice beef cut works well with this method. However, pan-frying creates an exceptional sear on highly marbled cuts such as Ribeye and New York Strip.

How do you stir fry beef without making it tough? ›

Don't Overcook

Thinly sliced beef only needs to be briefly seared on a hot pan before it's browned and cooked through, about a few minutes. Once the beef is browned on all sides, it is done and can be removed from the pan. Don't overcook the beef, or it will become tough.

How do you tenderize and marinate beef for stir fry? ›

Tenderize: In a bowl, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda over the beef and coat evenly with soy sauce, salt, starch, and oil (and optional ingredients, if using). Marinate: After sitting in the mixture for 15 to 30 minutes in the fridge, your beef is ready for stir-frying!

How do you make stir fry not chewy? ›

Use tender, quick-frying meats or tofu. Meats such as chicken breast, shrimp, boneless pork or sirloin steak are all great for stir-frying. If the meat isn't tender, the pieces will become tough and chewy from being cooked too fast.

How do you make stir fry steak not chewy? ›

Slice the beef against the grain into thin pieces (about ⅛”). Slice it into thin strips: After slicing into thin pieces, stack a few pieces to cut lengthwise into thin strips. For easier cutting, I recommend freezing the steak for half to 1 hour before slicing. Try this method with my crispy sesame beef recipe.
