Critical Success Points

  • Marinate the beef long enough to make it tender.
  • Cook the beef over high heat without burning it.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables to keep their crunch.
  • Thicken the sauce correctly by controlling the heat.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle very hot sesame oil with care to avoid splatters.
  • Cook the beef to an internal temperature of at least 63 °C to eliminate bacteria.
  • Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw meat.
