Notes
- The easiest way to get thin strips of meat is to partially freeze your steak before you slice it.
- I use flank steak for this recipe because it’s relatively inexpensive and always comes out super tender. If you don’t want to use flank steak, you could try a tougher cut of meat like beef stew meat cubes, but you’ll have to cook it for a few more hours.
