  • Add your oil to the pan on medium high heat. Let the oil heat up for 3-4 minutes. Add in your beef in two batches to not overcrowd the pan. Flip after 2-3 minutes or once browned. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. It's ok if there is a little pink because it will finish cooking in the sauce.
