Notes
- *If you use sauce that beef was marinating in, you must bring it to a boil and simmer it for 5 minutes for food safety. Remove the beef before simmering so it doesn't dry out.
- *You can also make a second batch of the marinade instead of the sauce used on the raw beef. Instead of removing the beef, just add the freshly made sauce to the pan and simmer for 30 seconds.
