Purchasing the Beef

When you’re shopping for stir-fry beef, it’s important to select the right meat for the job. You want a tender cut. I chose sirloin steaks, but you could also try flat iron, tenderloin, tri-tip or top loin steaks.

In a pinch, you could also make your beef stir-fry with less tender cuts, such as flank or round tip steaks.

Select a well-marbled piece of meat. That fat will reward you with good flavor.

Preparing the Beef

When you’re cutting the steak, strive for uniform pieces. If you’ve got a lot of variety in width, the thinner pieces will get overcooked and tough. If your butcher can do this step for you, that’s perfect.

I chose avocado oil for this keto teriyaki beef recipe. Avocado oil is a great choice for high-heat cooking, as it has an uber high smoke point.

Depending on the size of your pan and how much beef you purchased, you may have to work in batches. Be sure to keep your wok or pan active, scooping and stirring, to facilitate even cooking.

Be careful not to overcook – stir-frying goes quickly, and your meat can go from perfect to overdone in just seconds.

Your stir-fry meat is perfectly prepared when it is slightly pink in the center and no longer pink on the outside. Hooray! Now enjoy it!
