Note
For best results, use a lean cut of beef like sirloin or flank steak, sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness.
If you don't have a wok, a large skillet or sauté pan works well. Ensure the pan is very hot before adding the beef to get a good sear.
This sauce pairs excellently with risoni pasta, as mentioned in the original ingredients, or over steamed jasmine rice for an Asian-inspired twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan to prevent the beef from becoming tough.
Feel free to customize the vegetables; bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas add great texture and color.
