Pasta With Beef Stir-fry Recipe

Preparing the Pasta

Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water before incorporating the pasta. Let the pasta cook until it is al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes depending on the type. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside, keeping it warm.

Preparing the Beef Stir-Fry

First, slice the beef into thin strips, making sure to use lean cuts suitable for stir-frying. In a separate bowl, marinate the beef with soy sauce, a pinch of salt, pepper, minced onions, and garlic, allowing it to sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry until it's nearly cooked through. Add sliced carrots to the mix and continue to stir-fry until the beef is fully cooked and the carrots are tender yet crisp.

Combining the Components

Combine the cooked pasta and beef stir-fry in the large pot used for the pasta or in a serving dish. Toss well to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed. Garnish with freshly sliced cucumbers on top or on the side of the dish.
