For best results, use high heat to quickly sear the beef and stir-fry the vegetables. This will help to retain their texture and flavor. Adjust the amount of Chinese 5-spice powder and white pepper to suit your taste preferences. If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute with dry sherry. Feel free to add other vegetables to the stir-fry, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or bok choy. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
