Instructions
Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
Step 2: Add minced garlic and chili flakes, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add beef strips to the pan in a single layer and let them sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
Step 4: Flip the beef strips and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through and caramelized.
Step 5: Pour soy sauce over the beef and add paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste, tossing everything together for 1 minute.
Step 6: While the beef cooks, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage and julienned carrot in a bowl.
Step 7: Arrange crispy fries on a plate with the cooked beef, fresh slaw on the side, and a lime wedge for squeezing.
Step 8: Serve immediately while the fries are hot and the beef is at peak flavor.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the slaw and fries separate to maintain their textures.
Reheat beef in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or soy sauce for 3-4 minutes. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the meat tough.
Fries are best enjoyed fresh, but you can reheat them in a 375°F oven for about 8 minutes to restore crispiness. The slaw is best prepared fresh right before serving.
