Stir-Fried Beef with Celery (牛肉炒芹菜)

This stir-fried beef with celery is the first dish my grandfather taught me to cook when I was a teenager. I even wrote an essay about it, and my Chinese teacher read it to the whole class as an example! The beef is tender and juicy, while the celery stays crisp and refreshing. It’s quick, easy to make, and packed with protein and fiber. Every time I cook this dish, it brings back warm memories of my grandfather. Serve it with rice for a simple yet flavorful meal! Enjoy!
