Instructions
Step 1: Begin by preparing your crispy fries. Cut potatoes into thin, even strips and fry in hot oil until golden and crispy, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Step 2: While fries cook, prepare your fresh salad by arranging lettuce on a plate. Top with sliced cucumber and cherry tomatoes, then set aside.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add beef strips and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Add sliced onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables soften slightly.
Step 5: Pour soy sauce over the beef and vegetables, sprinkle with garlic powder, and toss everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Step 6: Plate everything together: beef stir-fry in the center, crispy fries on one side, and fresh salad on the other. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover beef stir-fry and fries in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the salad separate to prevent wilting.
Reheat the beef stir-fry in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. For fries, recrisp them in a 400°F oven for about 5 minutes.
The salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare ingredients ahead and assemble just before serving for maximum freshness and crunch.
