How to Make Crunchy Apple Beef
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef and stir to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, and 2 medium apples, thinly sliced.
- Stir-fry the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until rare, about 2 minutes.
- Add Vegetables and Apples: Add 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color) and 2 green onions, thinly sliced, to the wok along with the apple mixture.
- Crisp and Finish: Stir-fry until the apples are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add a touch more soy sauce or lemon juice if desired).
- Serve: Transfer the stir-fry to a serving plate and serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
