Stir-fried beef with celery is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful dish that balances tender beef and crisp celery. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to recreate this Asian-inspired classic at home.

Ingredients:

- 250g beef sirloin, sliced thinly against the grain

Instructions:

1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine beef slices with soy sauce, cornstarch, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 15 minutes to tenderize.

2. Prep vegetables: Wash and slice celery into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and set aside.

3. Stir-fry beef: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
