Note

For best results, ensure the beef is sliced thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

You can substitute the wild rice mix with plain cooked brown or white rice if preferred.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To add extra spice, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or chili powder to the skillet.
