Notes
- Make sure you remove the tough tissue from the steaks before frying.
- Turkish beef stir fry is cooked in just 15 minutes. Cooking the meat at high heat results in tender, juicy, and caramelized beef.
- This recipe moves fast so make sure you have all of your ingredients ready to go before you start cooking.
- The leftovers would keep in an airtight container for up to five days refrigerated or up to three months in the freezer.
