Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until it is smoking. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely seared and browned. Remove the cooked beef from the pan and set it aside.
