Team - am making this tonight or tomorrow. Calls for Flank Steak. Cant find any. What's a close equivalent I can get from the supermarket?

I'd suggest skirt steak? We use it a lot in asian cooking, it is perfect for flash stir frying. If you still can't get that I reckon rump would be okay, just slice the meat really thin

Rump it is!
Thanks team
I didn't read the recipe, but regardless in all stir fry type situations I will slice the meat thin then sprinkle a little salt in the bowl. Not scientific but I reckon it tastes better that way. I've used baking soda to tenderize some times, it works to make it tender but you do lose a lot of the bite which I enjoy. If the meat looks tough you can, but not too much and not for too long

Or boil it, need to keep the heat up. I'll put it in the wok and spread it out, then not touch it for some time to get it browned well before flipping or stirring

This recipe uses baking soda:
"In a medium bowl, toss together the beef, baking soda, and 1/4 cup water, and allow it to marinate for 1 hour. The baking soda will help to tenderize the beef."
Then water:
"Then “wash” the beef under running water for 5 minutes, using a light to moderate stream of water so it flows out, but the beef stays in the bowl."
Then cornstarch:
"After the beef has been rinsed, pour out the water, and marinate the beef with two teaspoons of cornstarch. Set aside"

If I'm doing it I only dunk it for about 20 minutes. If the meat is good and looks quite tender you probably don't need it frankly
