How to Make Beef Tomato

  1. Marinate beef (see ingredients for marinade details) for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of hot oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the browned beef to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Once hot, add your prepared vegetables (see ingredients) and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking.
  4. Return the beef to the pan. Add the gravy ingredients (see ingredients) and stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
