Marinated Beef Stir Fry With CilantroToday I am exited to share with you the recipe of a tasty and easy-to-make marinated beef and cilantro stir fry.

Once in a while, people would ask me what’s the most popular cooking method in China? My answer is always stir-frying!

Why do we love making stir-fry dishes so much? 

I can think of two main reasons. 1) It’s quick. Most stir fry dishes can be prepared in as little as 15 minutes. This cooking method fits a working family’s busy schedule perfectly. 2) It’s healthy. Most stir fry recipes use both vegetables and meats in one dish, helps you plan a balanced diet.

The ingredients needed for this recipe are incredible simple! You can easily find beef, cilantro, red pepper and garlic at any grocery store.

Stir fried beef Whenever I make a stir fry with meat, I always marinate the meat before the cooking starts. For example, in this recipe, I used potato starch, cooking wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper and oil for marination. Other than adding flavor, it also helps to tenderize the beef.

Marinated Beef Stir Fry With Cilantro-2I like the fresh peppery taste cilantro brings to the dish. But I know for some people, cilantro tastes like soap.

If you don’t like cilantro, this could still be your recipe. It is totally fine to substitute the cilantro with other vegetables such as broccoli or mushroom. 

Give it a try, this recipe will win you over with its taste, texture and simplicity.
