Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until about 80% cooked through and browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside on a plate.
