How to make stir-fried meat with celery and carrot

Celery has a strong taste, so many people don’t particularly like to eat it, but it cannot be denied that celery has a very high nutritional value and is of great benefit to people’s health, and it can also be paired with many foods to increase appetite. Stir-fried meat with celery and carrots is actually a very common dish. The method of preparation is relatively simple and diverse. You can add food or seasonings according to your preferences.

1. Method 1

Cut the lean meat into pieces, add a small amount of cornstarch and appropriate amount of salt to marinate (marinating the meat with cornstarch will make the lean meat tender and smooth when fried), and set aside; wash the carrots and celery, then cut the carrots into shreds and cut the celery into thick pieces for later use; after heating the peanut oil in a pan, pour in the celery and stir-fry for a few more times, then add a small amount of water and stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes (the celery is cut relatively thick, so add water and stir-fry first); pour in the lean meat and continue to stir-fry for half a minute; finally, pour in the carrots, stir-fry repeatedly until the carrots are cooked (the carrots can be green or soft, depending on personal preference), add appropriate amount of salt and stir-fry for a few times before serving.

2. Method 2

Soak celery and carrots in water for 1 hour (carrots can also be peeled without soaking in water), then wash them, cut celery into sections, and cut carrots into thin slices. Wash the meat and cut into shreds. Heat a cast iron pan and add appropriate amount of lard (you can add more). Add the shredded meat and stir-fry until cooked. Remove from the pan. Add lard and carrots in a hot pan and stir-fry until cooked. Add celery and shredded meat and stir-fry until cooked. Add salt as needed.

3. Method 3

Wash and dry the beef, cut into thin slices against the grain, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/3 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oil and ginger slices, mix well and marinate for 15 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, add celery, carrots and 3 tablespoons of water and stir-fry for 1 minute. Set aside. Heat another 2 tablespoons of oil, add the beef into the pan and stir-fry until the meat changes color. Pour in celery, carrots and 3 tablespoons of water and stir-fry over high heat for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 tablespoon of cooking wine and 1/3 tablespoon of salt, stir well and serve.
