Notes
It’s very important to slice the beef against the grain to ensure that it’s tender.
I prefer to use low sodium soy sauce for the best flavor in this recipe.
If you want to add a bit of spice, stir in 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the soy sauce mixture.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
This beef is great served as is or over rice.
