Critical Success Points

  • Pre‑heat the skillet until hot before adding beef.
  • Press the ground beef flat to achieve a good sear.
  • Add aromatics only after the meat is mostly cooked to prevent burning.
  • Stir constantly when the sauce is added to avoid sugar scorching.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep face away from the pan.
  • Use a pot holder when handling the hot skillet.
  • Be careful when chopping chilies; wash hands thoroughly afterwards.
