Note

For a gluten-free version, substitute regular soy sauce with tamari.

If you do not have a microwave browning dish, you can sear the steaks in a skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a skillet to prevent the beef from becoming tough.

Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or broccoli for extra nutrition and texture.
