Notes
Always slice flank steak against the grain — it makes the difference between tender and chewy.
Have all ingredients prepped and within arm’s reach before the pan goes on. Stir frying moves fast.
For meal prep, store cooked stir fry in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a hot skillet with a splash of soy sauce.
