Yield: 4 x approx. 5-1/2 oz servings
Ingredients
- 17 1/2 oz lean beef stir-fry strips *
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- 1 Tbsp olive oil

To prepare beef strips, put beef, covered, into freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
Slice across the grain of the steak in very thin strips. Mix beef strips with garlic and half of the oil.
Heat wok or skillet on high (no need to add any extra oil). Stir-fry beef strips in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove when cooked and allow pan to reheat before stir-frying next batch.
