Done

The earthy-tasting cumin adds its flavor to this delicious stir-fried beef dish, mingling with more traditional ingredients like soy sauce, green onion, and garlic. Chef John chooses Flank steak for this recipe, as it is the most popular cut when it comes to stir fry. You can, of course, use beef fillet (tenderloin) instead because it is unbelievably tender, buttery and has a mild beef flavor.

Final Notes

Don't cut the beef cubes large than 1-in. Allow the beef to absorb enough liquid during marinating. Make sure there is no liquid comes out during cooking. Stir fry the beef over high heat until golden red to get the best mouthfeel. Add cumin powder and cumin seeds to seasoning at the end for multiple levels of flavors.
