5 Minute Chinese Beef and Mushroom Stir Fry

Tender beef, juicy mushrooms, and savory sauce come together in this quick Chinese home-style stir-fry.

The two keys to this recipe are marinating the beef for tenderness and cooking the beef and mushrooms separately. This prevents the beef from overcooking while allowing the mushrooms to develop their flavor.
