    Heat a generous amount of oil in a wok until it reaches 80-90% hot (small bubbles quickly form on the surface). Add the beef cubes and keep stirring constantly with a spatula. Slide-oil cook for about 10 minutes until the surface moisture evaporates, the beef is cooked through, and the meat is tender. Taste to check doneness, then drain and remove.
