03 - 1 tsp kosher salt
04 - 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

12 - 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
13 - 2 cups baby potatoes, parboiled and quartered

→ Sauce

14 - 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
15 - 2 tbsp soy sauce
16 - 1 tbsp brown sugar
17 - 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
18 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
19 - 1/2 tsp ground cumin

→ Garnishes

20 - 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
21 - 1/4 cup scallions, sliced

# Steps:

01 - Toss sliced beef with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Let marinate while preparing vegetables and sauce.
02 - Whisk together Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and cumin in a separate bowl until well combined.
03 - Preheat the Blackstone griddle or large flat-top grill over medium-high heat.
04 - Add a drizzle of oil to the griddle and cook quartered baby potatoes for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and nearly cooked through. Push to one side of the griddle.
05 - Spread marinated beef on the griddle and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside under foil to keep warm.
06 - Add all vegetables except jalapeño to the griddle. Stir fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
07 - Add jalapeño if using, then return beef and potatoes to the griddle. Pour sauce over everything and toss well to coat. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through and caramelized.
08 - Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro or parsley and sliced scallions.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything happens on one surface so cleanup is just a quick scrape and wipe
  • The high heat creates those restaurant quality sear marks that home stovetops just cant achieve
02 -
  • Do not skip parboiling the potatoes or they will still be raw when the beef is overcooked
  • Let the griddle get properly hot before adding any ingredients for the best sear marks
03 -
  • Everything keeps cooking even after you remove it from the heat so pull ingredients slightly earlier than you think
  • Let the finished stir fry rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the flavors really meld together
